High production capacity of methanol in the country and the development of domestic markets for products with propylene and ethylene base materials, provided new opportunities to create units for the conversion of methanol to olefins (propylene and ethylene) in the country. Therefore, in this paper, using the method of economic feasibility, we will examine the establishment of these units in the country. The results of the feasibility study of these units, show that they are profitable for the country in the ten-year perspective. It is one of the most important opportunities to exit the sale of raw materials in the methanol sector of the country.
