e-Methanol in focus
The climate crisis and tighter regulations are driving the search for reliable and economical alternatives to fossil fuels. E-methanol and its derivatives are clean and cost-effective liquid fuels which can be used as a marine, aviation, and road transport fuel with existing infrastructure. MAN Energy Solutions is unlocking the full potential of renewable energy by providing power-to-liquid (PtL) technology.
Reactors that work especially for you
We customize your DWE® reactor until it perfectly fits your requirements
If you are producing acrolein (AC), acrylic acid (AA), maleic anhydride (MA), phthalic anhydride (PA)
and methyl methacrylate (MMA), our salt-operated reactors are perfect for you.
Owing to their excellent process control, they also lend themselves to many
more applications.
Our water-, gas- and
oil-operated tubular reactors on the other hand are used for the production of
ethylene oxide (EO), methanol (MeOH) and others, as well as for XTL (X-to- liquid, GTL) processes, coupled with the need to cut CO2 emissions. This kind
of reactor is also used in the power-to-X (P2X / PTX) business area for the
production of hydrogene, methane and SNG (synthetic natural gas).
We offer process
development and testing in our pilot plants or in a pilot reactor built for
you.
Should you have very
particular safety, transport or other requirements, our special, custom-made
reactors will be of interest.
