Methylal plants provided by Helipont assist clients in the production of produce 85%-92% concentration methylal. We also provide the upgrade and transformation services.

85%-92% Concentration Methylal Plant

Description of Methylal Production Process

85%-92% concentration process is a common methylal production process. Helipont improved this process to decrease methanol and formaldehyde consumption, and control the COD concentration in the waste water from the bottom of the reaction tower to remain lower than 200ppm.
