Factors affecting the price of methanol:
I. National policies
As an alternative energy source, methanol has become a trend. With the development of science and technology, countries often introduce favorable policies for methanol, which in turn affects the price trend of methanol.
Second, energy prices.
Because more than 90% of international methanol production plants use natural gas as raw material, the fluctuation of natural gas price will inevitably affect the fluctuation of methanol price.
Third, production and supply.
Due to the increasing scale of methanol plant, the plant with an annual output of10 million tons has been put into production. Once these large or super-large factories are unexpectedly overhauled or shut down, it will affect the market supply and cause price fluctuations.
Fourth, related industries.
Methanol is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in chemical industry, medicine, light industry, textile and other industries. The prosperity of these industries determines the demand for methanol and also affects its price.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) production cost
China's methanol production takes coal, natural gas and coke oven gas as raw materials, and the cost of these raw materials will affect the production cost of methanol.
International price of intransitive verbs
China is the largest consumer of methanol in the world and one of the fastest growing countries in the world, so the price of methanol in China is in line with international standards.
Seven. transportation cost
The storage of methanol needs to rely on a professional liquid chemical warehouse. At present, the production and consumption areas of methanol in China are unbalanced, so its price is greatly influenced by relevant transportation conditions.
Extended data:
Storage and transportation:
1, save notes.
Store in a cool, well-ventilated special warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature shall not exceed 37℃, and the container shall be sealed. Should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkali metals, etc. , and should not be mixed. Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to generate sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leakage and suitable accommodation materials.
2, transportation matters needing attention
The time limit for railway transportation of this product is to use the tank car provided by steel enterprises, and it can be shipped only after being approved by relevant departments. Transport vehicles shall be equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
The best luck is in the morning and evening in summer. The tank (tank) truck used for transportation should have a grounding chain, and a perforated partition can be set in the tank to reduce static electricity generated by vibration. It is strictly prohibited to transport with oxidants, acids, alkali metals and edible chemicals. Exposure, rain and high temperature should be prevented during transportation. Stay away from fire sources, heat sources and high temperature areas during stopovers.
The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying this article must be equipped with a fire retardant device, and it is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to generate sparks for loading and unloading. Highway transportation shall follow the prescribed route and shall not stay in residential areas and densely populated areas. When transporting by rail, it is forbidden to slip. It is forbidden to transport in bulk by wooden boats and cement boats.
