    Abstract: In a method for the reduction of methanol emission from an ammonia plant, a chilled methanol-containing feed gas is fed to a methanol absorber, carbon dioxide is separated from the gas phase leaving the methanol absorber, the methanol-containing gas is fed to a final separator, and the chilled, methanol-free process condensate from the final separator is used to wash out the methanol in a scrubbing column. By cooling the streams to the column and inserting a number of individual wash trays in the column, a practically quantitative removal of methanol is possible.
