A demonstration plant designed for methanol synthesis with steel mill gases was operated continuously for the first time over a period of 5 weeks. The reactor represents a single tube with typical dimensions of an industrial tube bundle reactor with a boiling water cooling jacket and is incorporated into a full loop of unreacted gases. Temperature profile along reactor axis and gas composition in gas recycle stream are measured online. In several experiments, the operating range of the plant was determined. Additionally, the reactor and the loop were simulated and the results agree well with experimental values.
