Which risk increases at an industrial methanol plant under sub-optimal iron catalyst performance?

💡 Explanation

Increased formation rate of other products may occur because the primary reaction pathway experiences a reduced efficiency, allowing alternative reaction pathways with lower selectivity to become more prominent via surface intermediates, therefore byproduct formation significantly increases, rather than desired product equilibrium, or activation barriers affected directly.
