Abstract

The invention relates to a method of producing substitute natural gas by methanation of synthesis gas, mainly solving problems, namely large using amount of recycle gas and high energy consumption of compressors, 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, with the n being not less than 2; b) a step of dividing the synthesis gas raw materials containing H2, CO, CO2 and H2O 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 a stream flowing out of an outlet of each of the reactors except the reactor at the final stage enters the inlet of the reactor at the next stage, the stream Vn flowing out from the reactor at the final stage is divided into Vn' and Vn'', and the stream Vn' is condensed and circulated to the inlet of the reactor at the first stage; c) a step of providing a low-temperature methanation reaction zone including m-stage series-connected reactors, with the m being not less than 2; and d) a step of feeding the stream Vn'' into the low-temperature methanation reaction zone, and substitute natural gas is obtained after the reaction. By the technical scheme, the problems are solved well and the method can be used in industrial production of the substitute natural gas from the 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 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 ...
