A novel fluidized-bed membrane dual-type methanol reactor (FBMDMR) concept is proposed in this paper. In this proposed reactor, the cold feed synthesis gas is fed to the tubes of the gas-cooled reactor and flows in counter-current mode with a reacting gas mixture in the shell side of the reactor, which is a novel membrane-assisted fluidized bed. In this way, the synthesis gas is heated by heat of reaction which is produced in the reaction side. Hydrogen can penetrate from the feed synthesis gas side into the reaction side as a result of a hydrogen partial pressure difference between both sides. The outlet synthesis gas from this reactor is fed to tubes of the water-cooled packed bed reactor and the chemical reaction is initiated by the catalyst. The partially converted gas leaving this reactor is directed into the shell of the gas-cooled reactor and the reactions are completed in this fluidized-bed side. This reactor configuration solves some drawbacks observed from the new conventional dual-type methanol reactor, such as pressure drop, internal mass transfer limitations, radial gradient of concentration, and temperature in the gas-cooled reactor. The two-phase theory of fluidization is used to model and simulate the proposed reactor. An industrial dual-type methanol reactor (IDMR) and a fluidized-bed dual-type methanol reactor (FBDMR) are used as a basis for comparison. This comparison shows enhancement in the yield of methanol production in the fluidized-bed membrane dual-type methanol reactor (FBMDMR).
