Methanol production is a typical continuous process industry. Its production process (especially the route using coal gasification to produce methanol) involves high temperatures and pressures, complex chemical reactions, and large-scale fluid transport, placing extremely high demands on equipment reliability, stability, and energy efficiency. Compressors, pumps, and fans are the "power core" of a methanol plant, and their operating status directly determines the overall capacity, energy consumption, and safety of the unit.
