Types of Methylal Refining Technology

Our methylal (dimethoxymethane) refining technology delivers high-purity methylal suitable for solvents, fuel additives, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The process typically starts from methanol and formaldehyde, followed by reactive distillation and multi-stage purification.

What sets our technology apart is the combination of azeotrope-breaking schemes and high-efficiency column internals. We employ extractive or pressure-swing distillation to overcome separation challenges, achieving methylal purity of 99.5% or higher with low methanol and water content.

Our refining system features low energy consumption, stable operation, and high recovery yields. The process is tailored to handle various feedstock compositions and capacity requirements, offering flexible configurations for industrial-grade or specialty-grade production.

Whether you need methylal for green solvents, aerosol formulations, or downstream synthesis, our technology provides a reliable, cost-effective refining solution backed by extensive engineering experience.

Why Build a Methylal Refining Unit?

This methylal (dimethoxymethane) refining technology produces high-purity methylal for green solvents, fuel additives, aerosol formulations and pharmaceutical intermediates. The whole process uses methanol and formaldehyde as raw materials, combining reactive distillation and multi-stage deep purification. Its core advantage lies in the integration of azeotrope breaking technology and high-efficiency tower internals; extractive distillation or pressure-swing distillation is adopted to solve difficult separation problems, delivering methylal with purity ≥99.5% and ultra-low residual methanol and water content. The refining system features low energy consumption, stable long-cycle operation and high product recovery rate, with flexible layouts adaptable to various feedstock compositions and capacity demands for both industrial-grade and specialty-grade production. Supported by rich engineering practice, this process provides reliable and cost-effective purification solutions for downstream fine chemical synthesis.
