Development of methanol technology started from schemes based on high-temperature synthesis at high pressure using traditional zinc-chromium catalysts.

Later on researches were carried out and a low-pressure process (5-10 MPa) was developed using copper-zinc catalysts.

Development of methanol synthesis was determinated by manufacturing requirements and world tendencies in science and technology, and followed the direction of:

creation of energy- and utility-saving methanol technology;
intensifying and upgrading of existing production plants;
production combining and integration;
use of alternative raw material sources for methanol production.

ALVIGO Holding is highly experienced in methanol process technology analysis and industrial introduction of large-scale methanol plants (from 10 thousand/tpy to 1 million/tpy) in CIS countries and far abroad.

Having at its disposal the qualified specialists for methanol production and retaining in new economic conditions its creative, scientific and engineering potential, Holding is constantly improving methanol production process including catalytical systems and equipment implementation for NG conversion and synthesis stages.
