An one-dimensional pseudo-homogenous model of converter was developed with hydrogenations of CO and CO as the independent reactions as well as CO and CO as the key components, and the model was 2 2 solved by Rung-Kutta method to obtain the axial profiles of temperature and gaseous concentration in the bed. The effects of operating conditions, such as the boiling water temperature and the operating pressure, on the performance of the methanol synthesis converter with the natural gas as raw material were discussed. A stable productivity can be maintained by adjusting the main operating conditions mentioned above in different period. The predicted values of the temperature distribution along the axial position and the yield are almost the same as 5 − 1 the practical data obtained from an operating 1×10 t⋅y converter in a factory.
