Methanol vapor is changed to liquid in condensers in which it is piped through a bath of constantly circulating cold water. There an inspector checks the level of the water bath in a condenser at the Belle WV plant of the DuPont Company. Methanol,...
Methanol is refined in a series of distillation columns, called a train at the Belle WV plant of the DuPont Company. Steps in the refining process are explained by a Belle operator.
Huge reformers with their stately stacks at DuPont's Sabine River Works, Orange, TX are used to convert natural gas into hydrogen and carbon monoxide for the synthesis of methanol. Methanol is used chiefly for making anti-freeze and formaldehyde.
Refining of crude alcohol, represented by the two bottles on the bottom step, at the Belle WV plant of the DuPont Company's Polychemicals Department, produces five intermediate alcohols, represented by bottles on the second step, and finally the...
