Kvaerner Process Technology

ILPM [Improved Low-Pressure Methanol] A process for making methanol from natural gas, which has two stages. The first stage converts the gas to CRG. The second stage converts this gas to methanol in a Kvaemer Steam Raising Reactor. Developed by Kvaerner Process Technology in 2000, and proposed for use in Germany from 2003.
