Methanol to CMTX technology

摘要

Methanol to olefins is a growing market, particularly in China where the use of their coal resources allows the country to reduce its dependence on oil derived olefins by producing methanol as an intermediary step before using one of the technologies available to convert this methanol into the desired olefin product. CECC, a subsidiary of the China Academy of Science, has developed its CMTX technology over the past six years to compete with and complement the existing methanol to olefins (MTO) and methanol to propylene (MTP) technologies, but with the aim of focusing on the production of propylene and butene, for which there is a gap in the current technology offering for olefins.
