Embodiment 1

[0023] 2 billion Nm 3 / year synthetic gas methanation to substitute natural gas plant (annual operating hours 8,000 hours), using figure 1 With advanced technology, the raw syngas is divided into three shares evenly at a pressure of 3.3MPa and a temperature of 30°C. The circulating gas from the compressor has a pressure of 3.3MPa and a temperature of 49°C. It is divided into three streams according to the ratio of 4:4:2, and is mixed with the raw material synthesis gas to enter the third-stage catalyst bed of the fixed-bed reactor, so that the temperature of the mixed gas entering the middle-stage catalyst bed is The temperature of the mixed gas entering the lower catalyst bed is 438°C. The mixed gas entering the upper catalyst bed first exchanges heat with the reaction gas in the heat exchanger, and then rises to 300°C before entering the catalyst bed. After the reaction product comes out of the reactor at 552°C, heat the mixed gas as mentioned above, the temperature of the ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a synthesis gas methanation reaction method, wherein problems of low methanation reaction conversion rate, more heat exchange equipment, complex process and high compressor energy consumption in the prior art are mainly solved with the present invention. The method comprises the following steps that: at a temperature of 20-60 DEG C under a pressure of 3.0-5.5 MPa, synthesis gas is divided into a plurality of parts, the plurality of the parts are mixed with circulation gas from a methanation reactor, and the obtained mixing gases are introduced into various bed layers of a multi-stage fixed bed reactor filled with a methanation catalyst, wherein a temperature of the mixed gas is controlled to 300-400 DEG C, and the mixed gas comprises the mixing gas and the reaction gas discharged from various catalyst bed layers; outlet gas comprising CH4, H2O, unconverted CO, unconverted CO2 and unconverted H2 is obtained from the reactor outlet; the mixing gas entering the first stage catalyst bed layer and the outlet gas of the methanation reactor are subjected to heat exchange to be heated to a temperature of 260-450 DEG C; and the methanation reactor outlet gas is divided into two parts, the one part is adopted as the circulation gas, and the other part enters the next stage methanation reactor. With the technical scheme, the problems are well solved, and the method can be used for industrial production of substitute natural gas preparation through synthesis gas.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing substitute natural gas (SNG) by methanation of synthesis gas. Background technique [0002] Natural gas is a low-pollution, high-calorific-value clean energy that can make up for the increasingly scarce oil resources to a certain extent. However, my country's natural gas reserves are small and the demand for natural gas is growing rapidly. It is estimated that my country's current natural gas gap is about 20 billion m3 . my country is rich in coal resources, so the methanation of synthetic gas from coal gasification to substitute natural gas (SNG) can effectively alleviate my country's demand for natural gas. [0003] The main components of syngas are CO, CO 2 and H 2 , a large amount of methane is produced through the methanation reaction, and the reaction equation is: [0004] [0005] The methanation reaction is a strongly exothermic reaction, depending on the initial methane content, the single-...
