2. About DME
• DME is an organic compound with the formula CH3OCH3.
• The simplest ether, it is a colorless gas that is a useful
precursor to other organic compoundsand an aerosol
propellant.
• DME is also promising as a clean-burning hydrocarbon fuel.
• DME is primarily produced by converting hydrocarbons,
predominantly sourced from natural gas, to synthesis gas.
Synthesis gas is then converted into methanol in the
presence of catalyst, with subsequent methanol
dehydration in the presence of a different catalyst resulting
in the production of DME

3. Technologies
• MHI’s CO2 recovery process which is the most
advanced technology in the world
• H2 generation process by electrolysis
• Methanol synthesis process which is jointly
developed by MHI and Mitsubishi Gas
Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC) featuring an
advanced methanol synthesis converter
“SUPERCONVERTER (SPC)”
