Abstract
This invention discloses a process for the methanation of coal-to-syngas, in which syngas is processed into SNG through a three-stage methane synthesis reactor. The process features a short flow path, fewer equipment requirements, and eliminates the need for a circulating compressor or hydrogen supplementation for syngas dilution. Furthermore, it utilizes the byproduct steam generated from the reaction heat as a heating source, demonstrating excellent energy efficiency. Additionally, it exhibits high COx conversion rate, good CH4 selectivity, and a CH4 content exceeding 98% in the product gas, meeting the requirements for natural gas pipeline transportation.
