English term or phrase: dry basis
I know that "dry basis" means "verhouding droog materiaal", but cannot place it in this sentence: "The feed to the methanol synthesis reactor ........ is 5600 MTPD of a feed gas comprising 82.2 mol% hydrogen, 9 mol% methane .....etc etc...and about 0,4 mol% MeOH and other constituents, dry basis". So I don't know how to include this in the sentence really.

vocht/droge stof-verhouding
Explanation:
Ik zou echt "stof" gebruiken en niet "materiaal", wat meer betrekking heeft op agrarische producten.

Hoe dit te plaatsen weet ik ook niet echt, omdat het moeilijk te vinden is op internet. Ik zou gewoon zeggen "[komma] vocht/droge stof-verhouding."

op basis van droge stof


Explanation:
gewoon, toch?

de gegeven percentages gelden op basis van droge stof.

dit ligt volgens mij meer voor de hand dan "verhouding droog materiaal" o.i.d. - waar komt die "verhouding" vandaan?
