Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions, specifically CO2 and H2S, are recognized as a serious environmental issue. To address this, various strategies have been suggested. Among these, an economic-environmental study is presented, focusing on a methanol production process that utilizes CO2 and H2S waste streams from a natural gas sweetening plant. The study aims to identify conditions that enhance the production of value-added products and increase methanol yields while reducing costs. Given the complexity of processes involving numerous variables such as pressure, temperature, flow rates, and others, pinpointing the most impactful variables for effective manipulation poses a significant challenge. To tackle this, the study adopts a factorial experimental design coupled with ANOVA analysis to determine the variables that most significantly affect the process. Based on this analysis, the study suggests process improvement through energy integration. Results, derived from the experimental design and ANOVA analysis, reveal that reactor temperatures play a crucial role in influencing the process's effectiveness.
