According to reports, due to planned and unplanned downtime overhauls of a large number of devices in recent months, the global methanol market has been strained. In the coming weeks, some installations will enter the maintenance period, and the shortage of methanol supply will continue.

In Europe, the Norwegian national oil company's 900,000-ton/year methanol plant in Tjelbergodden was suspended from May 26. It was scheduled to resume work on June 30 and was finally postponed until the end of July. The Sabic company in Saudi Arabia in the Middle East is located in the Ar Razi 1 600,000-ton/year facility.

Iran’s state-owned petrochemical company began a shutdown of 12 days on July 4 at the 1 million-ton/year plant at Bandar Imam Khomeini. In addition, the company also inspected the shutdown of the 1.7 million tons/year methanol plant in Zagros for 10 days in early July.

In the Caribbean and Latin America, the supply of methanol continues to be tight, as the shortage of natural gas leads to a reduction of production of Methanex's 3.8 million-ton/year methanol plant in Chile. Methanol Trinidad Holdings Ltd. plans to stop the 48 kt/y methanol plant in Point Lisas for 20 days in the last week of August for maintenance.

In Asia, Malaysia’s National Petroleum Corporation repaired a 600,000-ton/year methanol plant on August 14 for 20-22 days; Indonesia’s Medco will also have a 350,000-tonne/year methanol plant due to limited natural gas supply.

Laser welding is the process of welding materials together, whether this is one piece or multiple pieces of similar or dissimilar materials. Renowned for the increased strengths of welds, laser welding is an application that businesses simply can`t afford to ignore for quality and cost reasons.

Regardless of the material, thickness or dissimilarity of metals, welding is an application that both our Pulsed and Continuous Wave (CW) lasers can achieve. From fuel cells and batteries through to fine wires for medical device manufacture, if your aim is to perfect your processing techniques then look no further than our range of Pulsed and CW Fiber Laser solutions. These lasers can also be used for many other applications too such as drilling, marking, cutting, etc. all of which can be programmed into a seamless process flow.
