✦ Synopsis

Process studies on the conversion of methanol to high quality gasoline are described. Exploratory process variable studies were carried out in single-pass fixed bed reactors. Process design and catalyst aging studies were conducted using a two-stage fixed bed reactor system with light gas recycle to the second reactor. The thermochemistry of the reaction is discussed.
