used coolant is a byproduct of using coolant for a recipe. the biggest recipes i know of that make used coolant are all later stages of the angels smelting.
maybe post a pic or something because something seems off as you shouldn't need used coolant to make plastic

How i understand before i need to make Propene Gas, i have already "Methanol Gas" and i need "Steam" to can make "Synthesis Propene" but to make "Steam" i need "Used Coolant + Water" to can have output "Steam" I'm not sure if I'm going the right way this mod is very confusing ... i just need to use Methanol Gas to make plastics bar ...

I use Green Algar to make Cellulose Fiber and after Methanol Gas and from here i got stuck ...

Steam is usually made by putting (plain, not purified) water into a boiler.... You might be overthinking this one. If you can't make steam that way, then you would need to detail the mods you're using to give more info.

Angel adds an electric steam boiler for this kind of thing. It produces steam for cracking processes without the need to bring a fuel line through your petrochemical plants.

The steam obtained by cooling down coolant is a byproduct. It is not a practical method of obtaining steam for cracking processes. I would suggest that when you eventually have a use for coolant (which is primarily just used to make strand casting more material-efficient) you should simply run the steam byproduct into a steam boiler or just vent it with a flare stack.
