Direct DME Synthesis from Syngas: a Technoeconomic Model-based Investigation
Abstract
Dymethyl ether (DME) is of industrial interest since it is used as a precursor in many other chemical processes and it can be used as fuel in diesel engines. Nowadays, the main route to produce DME is a two-step process in which a methanol dehydration unit is connected to a methanol synthesis plant (indirect synthesis). Combining methanol synthesis and dehydration in a single reactor (direct synthesis) has attracted significant attention in …
