How to calculate the bitumen to methanol ratio
Bitumen to Methanol ratio = Bitumen price per Metric Ton ÷ Methanol price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of methanol per Metric Ton of bitumen — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $4,544.00 ÷ $2,861.00 = 1.588. The inverse is 0.6296.
