INTRODUCTION

Methanol is one of the simplest fatty alcohols. It is a colorless, Irritating, volatile and flammable liquid. It can be mixed with water and other solvents. This compound may be hazardous and cause blindness when swallow.

APPLICATION

CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Methanol is being used as a solvent agent in oil and gas extraction. It aids to decrease oil viscosity thus improves its fluid.
This liquid can also be used as an anti-freeze agent thus avoid water spot in oil pipes.
Methanol can be mixed with oil. It is considered as a low carbon and renewable alternative fuel with less emission. This fuel is being used in internal combustion engine and can be mixed with diesel fuel and oil. It is considered as a hydrogen carrier with wide application for energy. It can be also applied in production of Formaldehyde, Methyl Methacrylate, Methylamine, Vinyl acetate, Ethylene Glycol, Fuels and as a solvent agent for cement dock.
