    1. The document describes a proposed plant with a capacity of 3300 tonnes/day for producing methanol. 2. It outlines the mass balances for a Methanol Purification Unit and Syngas Recovery Unit. 3. For the Methanol Purification Unit, the mass flowrates and compositions of streams entering and leaving are calculated. Stream 12 is found to have a methanol composition of 0.163 and a water composition of 0.837. 4. For the Syngas Recovery Unit, overall mass balances and component balances are used to determine the flowrates and compositions of the input and output streams, including streams 7, 8, 9, and 10.

    Known value:
    S11 = 137500 kg /h
    Fraction of feed that vaporized in S11 = 0.97

    Overall mass balance: Using the fraction of vaporized feed:


    S 10=S 11+ S 12 S 11=0.97(S 10)
    137500
    S 10=137500+ S 12 S 10= =141752.6 kg /h

    S 12=4252.6
    Mass balance for x F 12: Mass balance for x B 12 :
    0.9264 ( 141752.6 ) =137500 ( 0.95 )+ 4252.6 x F 12 x B 12=1−0.163
