Abstract

The invention relates to a method of producing substitute natural gas from synthesis gas, mainly solving problems, namely large using amount of recycle gas, high energy consumption of compressors and short service lifetime of catalysts, of high-temperature methanation reactions in the prior art. According to the technical scheme adopted by the method, the method comprises: a) a step of providing a high-temperature methanation reaction zone including n-stage series-connected reactors, wherein the n is not less than 2, each reactor is divided into m sections of catalyst layers and the m is not less than 2; b) a step of dividing the synthesis gas raw materials into n sections and respectively feeding the n sections of the synthesis gas raw materials into inlets of the reactors at all stages in the high-temperature methanation reaction zone, wherein each section of the synthesis gas raw materials that enters a reactor is then divided into m streams and the m streams respectively enter the corresponding catalyst layers; c) a step of allowing a stream flowing out of an outlet of each of the reactors except the reactor at the final stage to enter the first section of catalyst layer in the reactor at the next stage; and d) a step of shunting the stream Vn flowing out from the reactor at the final stage to obtain a part Vn', and circulating the stream Vn' after the Vn' is condensed to the inlet of the reactor at the first stage. By the technical scheme, the problems are solved well and the method can be used in industrial production of substitute natural gas from synthesis gas.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing substitute natural gas (SNG) from synthesis gas. Background technique [0002] Natural gas is an efficient and clean energy that can make up for the increasingly scarce oil resources to a certain extent. However, in recent years, my country's natural gas demand has grown rapidly, and my country's natural gas reserves are relatively small. It is predicted that the demand for natural gas in China will reach 170-210 billion Nm in 2015 3 , while the natural gas production in the same period can only reach 140 billion Nm 3 , the gap between supply and demand is about 30 billion to 70 billion Nm 3 . In order to solve the contradiction between the supply and demand of natural gas in my country, other alternative ways must be sought. [0003] 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 co...
