Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a coke oven gas recovery and processing system and method, and in particular to a system and method for producing LNG and hydrogen products using coke oven gas as raw material. Background Art

[0002] Coke oven gas is a by-product of the coking process. Each ton of coke produced produces 380~420Nm 3 The main components of coke oven gas are hydrogen (50% to 70% by volume) and CH4 (18% to 30% by volume), as well as a small amount of CO, CO2 and nitrogen, among which hydrogen, CO and CH4 are all effective components that can be recycled. In recent years, the recycling of coke oven gas has mostly focused on the production of LNG, synthetic ammonia, methanol and ethylene glycol. Among them, chemical products such as synthetic ammonia, methanol and ethylene glycol are in a state of overproduction and fierce competition, and the price of LNG fluctuates greatly with the seasons. Therefore, the single product line is the main factor limiting the economic efficiency of coke oven gas recovery devices.

At the same time, the existing device lacks a methane conversion process, resulting in an unbalanced CO2 in the coke oven gas treatment system, and the investment in the full gas volume CO conversion process is high. Therefore, enriching the product line of comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas and flexibly adjusting the production mode according to market demand can not only improve the economy of the device, but also increase the energy utilization rate of coke oven gas.
