Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biosyngas processing, and in particular to a process system for co-producing solid wax, liquid hydrocarbons and hydrogen through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of biosyngas. Background Art
[0002] With the significant increase in public awareness of environmental protection and resource conservation, higher standards for waste treatment technologies have been placed accordingly. Against this backdrop, traditional waste treatment methods—including landfill, composting, and incineration—have gradually exposed their respective shortcomings. First, while landfill is simple and easy to implement, it requires a large amount of land, making it particularly uneconomical in today's increasingly scarce land resources. Second, while composting is a relatively environmentally friendly treatment method, it can only process relatively small amounts of waste and has low efficiency, making it difficult to cope with the growing waste production. Finally, while incineration can effectively reduce waste volume, it is prone to secondary pollution during the treatment process, particularly the emission of highly toxic substances such as dioxins, which pose a significant threat to the environment and hinder industrial application. Therefore, finding more efficient and environmentally friendly waste treatment technologies has become a pressing issue for society.
[0003] To address the challenges of municipal solid waste treatment, domestic researchers are actively exploring the use of fluidized bed pyrolysis and gasification technology to treat organic waste. This process involves cracking organic waste at high temperatures, followed by a condensation step to convert the resulting pyrolysis gases into new gas and solid forms. From a theoretical and practical perspective, this method can effectively reduce the formation of harmful substances such as dioxins. Furthermore, during the pyrolysis and gasification process, most heavy metals dissolve into the ash, significantly reducing emissions of these harmful substances. The resulting mixed gas from treating municipal solid waste in this way is called biosyngas. This gas primarily consists of hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, but also contains impurities such as tar, sulfur, chlorine, ammonia, and siloxanes. Currently, the industrial application of biosyngas is still in its infancy, and many countries around the world are actively researching and exploring industrial pathways for converting waste into hydrogen. Despite this, this field is generally still in the research and demonstration stage. Currently, the mainstream treatment method for municipal solid waste is still combustion for power generation or urban heating. While there are some industrial installations in China that produce hydrogen from the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste, their application remains very limited. Given the current situation, a key challenge facing engineers is how to efficiently utilize the biogas produced by the pyrolysis of municipal solid waste and create greater economic value through this process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a process system for the co-production of solid wax, liquid hydrocarbons and hydrogen by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of biosyngas. The biosyngas produced by pyrolysis and gasification of domestic waste is sequentially subjected to cascade purification, carbon-hydrogen ratio adjustment, pressure swing adsorption hydrogen extraction and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis processes. By synergistically co-producing high-purity hydrogen, liquid hydrocarbons and solid wax through multiple systems, high-value resource utilization of organic waste and low carbon emissions are achieved.

[0031] Example
[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a process system for producing high-purity hydrogen from bio-crude synthesis gas and co-producing bio-natural gas, comprising a purification unit 1, a carbon-hydrogen adjustment unit 2, an acid removal unit 3, a methane upgrading unit 4, a recycling and purification unit for hydrogen 5, and a recycling and purification unit for methane 6, which are connected in sequence; specifically, the bio-synthesis gas is connected to the pretreatment system A through a pipeline 1; the pretreatment system A is connected to the blower system B through a pipeline; the blower system B is connected to the pretreatment system C through a pipeline; the pressurized bio-synthesis gas at the outlet of the blower system B is sent out through a pipeline 2 as an external fuel gas; the pretreatment system C is connected to the compression system D through a pipeline; the compression system D is connected to the conversion system E through a pipeline; the conversion system E is connected to the desulfurization system F through a pipeline; the desulfurization system F is connected to the MD through a pipeline.

[0033] The pretreatment system A is used to perform preliminary oil removal on the 2-4 kPa (G) and 40°C biosyngas generated by the pyrolysis and gasification of municipal solid waste. It comprises a connected electrostatic precipitator (ETC) and a fiber bed mist collector. The ETC, the fiber bed mist collector, and other devices remove the majority of the tar from the biosyngas. The ETC utilizes a honeycomb structure, which effectively improves the device's collection efficiency. A steam heater is installed at its base, which not only helps maintain the device's normal operating temperature but also prevents tar accumulation within the device. A dedicated flushing device is installed at the top of the ETC for regular cleaning of the device's surface to maintain optimal operating conditions. The fiber bed mist collector utilizes a core-type loose fiber bed, secured to the device by a tube sheet, ensuring stability and durability. The fiber bed is a loose mesh structure woven from extremely fine fibers. Its large surface area significantly agglomerates fine dust droplets, resulting in extremely high separation efficiency. Additionally, this fiber bed mist eliminator offers advantages such as easy cleaning, corrosion-resistant materials, and the ability to withstand high temperatures, making it an excellent performer in a variety of industrial applications.
[0034] The blower system B is used to pressurize the pre-treated biosyngas to 20-60 kPa (G). The blower system B uses a blower to separate the pressurized biosyngas into two paths: one path is supplied to the outside through pipeline 2 as fuel gas, and the other path enters the pre-treatment system C.
[0035] The pretreatment system C performs deep deoiling and desulfurization on the pressurized biosynthesis gas. The pretreatment system C includes a connected deoiling tower and a desulfurization device, specifically, two connected dry deoiling towers and one dry desulfurization tower. The pressurized biosynthesis gas is passed through the dry deoiling tower to remove tar to ≤5mg / Nm 3 The de-oiling tower is filled with tar adsorption fillers such as coke, activated carbon, and aluminosilicate. The pressurized biosynthesis gas is passed through the desulfurization device to remove hydrogen sulfide in the biosynthesis gas to ≤50mg / Nm 3 The desulfurization device adopts dry desulfurization or wet desulfurization method according to the hydrogen sulfide content of the biosynthesis gas.
[0036] Compression system D is used to further pressurize the purified biosyngas to 1.5-2.5 MPa. The compressors used in compression system D are either reciprocating or centrifugal. Specifically, two connected centrifugal compressors are used. The core objective of this step is to increase the operating pressure of the purified biosyngas. When selecting the pressure, key considerations include the user's specific hydrogen pressure requirements, as well as a comprehensive assessment of the investment costs, energy consumption, and process removal efficiency of each unit.
[0037] The shift system E is used to adjust the molar ratio of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to produce the desired shifted gas. The shift system E includes a feed preheater, a detoxification furnace, a humidifier, a primary shift furnace, a waste heat boiler, a secondary shift furnace, a heat exchanger group, and a cooling unit. Among them, the feed preheater receives the biosynthesis gas (pressure 1.5-2.5MPa (G), temperature about 130°C) output by the compression system D, and heats the gas to 180-230°C through heat exchange; the outlet of the feed preheater is connected to the inlet of the detoxification furnace, and the gas is detoxified by oxygen (O2 <1ppm), arsenic, chlorine and other poisons in the detoxification furnace, and the temperature rises to about 300°C (the temperature rise is determined by the content of impurities); the gas at the outlet of the detoxification furnace enters the humidifier, and the temperature is reduced to about 220°C by spraying water / steam; the outlet of the humidifier is connected to the inlet of the first-stage conversion furnace, and the gas undergoes the main conversion reaction under isothermal conditions (it can also be designed as adiabatic conditions according to the conditions of the raw gas), and the outlet temperature of the conversion furnace is about 250°C; the heat generated by the conversion reaction in the first-stage conversion furnace is buried in the catalyst bed The water heat transfer tube bundle produces 1.0~2.5MPa(G) saturated steam as a by-product. The water heat transfer tube bundle in the first-stage converter is connected to the waste heat boiler; the outlet of the first-stage converter is connected to the inlet of the second-stage converter to complete the deep conversion (the CO concentration is determined by the hydrogen content, and the purpose is to adjust the molar ratio of CO and H2). The outlet temperature is controlled at around 220℃; the heat exchanger group includes a deoxygenated water preheater and a desalted water preheater. The gas at the outlet of the second-stage converter of the deoxygenated water preheater is cooled to about 180℃ by the deoxygenated water preheater; the desalted water preheater further cools it to 120℃; the cooling unit includes an air cooler and a water cooler. The outlet of the deoxygenated water preheater is connected to the air cooler, and the gas temperature is reduced to 60℃; the outlet of the air cooler is connected to the water cooler, and the converted gas is finally cooled to below 40℃ and transported to the desulfurization system F.
[0038] The feed preheater is used to heat the compressed biosynthesis gas (about 130°C) to the catalytic reaction temperature (such as 180°C); the detoxification furnace is equipped with a deoxidizer and adsorbent to remove residual O2 (O2 < 1ppm) and poisons such as arsenic and chlorine in the gas, and the outlet temperature is raised to about 300°C; the humidifier adjusts the temperature of the high-temperature gas by spraying water / steam (such as down to 220°C) and replenishes water vapor; the first-stage conversion furnace is loaded with a wide-temperature sulfur-resistant catalyst (such as Co-Mo system) and performs the main conversion reaction under isothermal conditions (CO conversion rate 60% to 80%), and the outlet temperature is raised to about 250°C; the waste gas is heated to 100°C and the waste gas is heated to 200°C. The heat boiler recovers the reaction heat and by-product steam (pressure 1.0-2.5 MPa) while simultaneously cooling the gas to below 200°C. The second-stage shift converter further achieves deep shift conversion (CO concentration ≤ 15%), employing an isothermal reactor or interstage cooling design, with the outlet temperature controlled at 220°C ± 10°C. The heat exchanger, consisting of a deoxygenated water preheater and a desalted water preheater, recovers waste heat in stages (reducing the gas temperature from 220°C to 80°C). The cooling unit, consisting of an air cooler (air cooling) and a water cooler (circulating water cooling), ultimately reduces the shift gas temperature to below 40°C, meeting the inlet requirements of the desulfurization system. This shift system (E) processes the high-pressure purified biogas over a gas-solid catalyst, converting the CO and water vapor contained therein into H2 and CO2. This process aims to produce more hydrogen and adjust the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the shifted biogas to meet Fischer-Tropsch synthesis requirements. The basic chemical reaction equation can be expressed as: CO + H2O = CO2 + H2. Shift System E flexibly adjusts the unit's primary product based on market fluctuations, primarily adjusting the ratio of H₂ to CO in the converted biosyngas. Without hydrogen production, Shift System E ensures a roughly 2:1 H₂ to CO ratio in the converted biosyngas, suitable for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit.
[0039] The desulfurization system F is used to deeply remove H2S from the converted biosynthesis gas. The desulfurization system F adopts dry desulfurization, and the desulfurization system F adopts a dry desulfurization tower, which is filled with desulfurization adsorbents such as coke and activated carbon. The converted biosynthesis gas passes through the desulfurization tower to remove H2S to ≤1mg / Nm 3 .
[0040] The MDEA decarbonization system G is used to absorb and remove carbon dioxide and separate the byproduct carbon dioxide through a pipeline. It uses a methyldiethanolamine solution (MDEA solution) in a two-stage absorption process, with the lower stage being scrubbed with semi-lean liquid and the upper stage being scrubbed with regenerated lean liquid. The MDEA decarbonization system G removes CO2 from the degassing gas to below 50 ppm. Specifically, the MDEA decarbonization system G includes a feed gas-liquid separator, a two-stage absorption tower, a rich liquid flash tank, a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger, a regeneration tower, a lean liquid circulation pump, and a semi-lean liquid circulation pump. The gas-liquid separator of the raw gas is used to separate the condensed water entrained in the conversion gas; the two-stage absorption tower includes a lower absorption zone and an upper absorption zone. The lower absorption zone is filled with structured packing, and the inlet is connected to a semi-lean liquid circulation pump, and a semi-lean MDEA solution (a mixture of lean liquid and rich liquid) is used to initially absorb CO2; the upper absorption zone is filled with random packing, and the inlet is connected to a lean liquid cooler, and the regenerated lean liquid is used to deeply remove CO2 to ≤50ppm; the rich liquid flash tank is used to receive the rich liquid (MDEA solution rich in CO2) at the bottom of the absorption tower and release the dissolved gas by reducing the pressure; the lean and rich liquid heat exchanger uses the high temperature at the bottom of the regeneration tower to regenerate the CO2. The rich liquid after the lean liquid is heated and flashed is heated to increase the temperature of the rich liquid to 100-110°C; the regeneration tower includes a reboiler and a tower top condenser, and the reboiler is heated by steam (0.3-0.5Mpa(G)) to make the rich liquid desorb CO2 at 120-130°C; the tower top condenser condenses and dehydrates the desorbed CO2 gas to obtain high-purity CO2 (≥99.5%) and discharges it through pipeline 3; the lean liquid circulation pump cools the lean liquid at the bottom of the regeneration tower to 40-50°C through the cooler and then pumps it to the upper section of the absorption tower; the semi-lean liquid circulation pump extracts semi-lean liquid from the middle of the regeneration tower and directly transports it to the lower section of the absorption tower.
[0041] The MDEA decarbonization system G absorbs and removes carbon dioxide, and separates the byproduct carbon dioxide through a pipeline as follows: The degassing process first enters the feed gas gas-liquid separator for gas-liquid separation. The separated gas enters the lower inlet of the absorber tower, is scrubbed with semi-lean liquid in the lower absorption zone, and then enters the upper absorption zone. After further scrubbing with lean liquid, purified gas is discharged from the top of the absorber tower and transported to the PSA hydrogen extraction system H. The carbon dioxide gas desorbed at the top of the regeneration tower is dehydrated in the overhead condenser and vented through the high point of pipeline 3. The rich liquid output from the bottom of the absorber tower is depressurized and flash-evaporated in a rich liquid flash tank. It then heats up with the high-temperature lean liquid through a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger before entering the middle of the regeneration tower. The high-temperature lean liquid at the bottom of the regeneration tower is pressurized by a lean liquid circulation pump, first cooled by heat exchange with the rich liquid through a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger, and then cooled to 40-50°C in a lean liquid cooler before being transported to the upper inlet of the absorber tower. The semi-lean liquid in the middle of the regeneration tower is directly transported to the lower inlet of the absorber tower via a semi-lean liquid circulation pump. The high-temperature lean liquid at the bottom of the regeneration tower completes heat exchange with the rich liquid in the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger, and then enters the lean liquid cooler for further cooling; the steam condensate from the reboiler is returned to the boiler through a pipeline for recycling.
[0042] The PSA hydrogen extraction system H is used to remove hydrogen and adjust the hydrogen production ratio to produce PSA desorbed gas. The carbon-rich gas that does not participate in hydrogen extraction is piped to the outlet of the desorbed gas compression system I. The process flow of the PSA hydrogen extraction system H utilizes 6 to 12 adsorption towers, with 1 to 6 pressure equalization cycles. Adsorbent regeneration is performed by flushing or vacuuming. The PSA hydrogen extraction system H is designed to flexibly adjust its production load based on the company's internal hydrogen demand. This adjustment ensures that the system can efficiently meet the specific needs of downstream hydrogen users. The demand for hydrogen primarily comes from these users, who have clear requirements for hydrogen usage and quality standards. After the PSA hydrogen extraction system H completes the hydrogen production process, some raw material purified biosynthesis gas will remain. This excess gas is channeled through pipeline 5 to the outlet of the desorbed gas compression system I. This design not only optimizes gas utilization efficiency but also reduces resource waste. Furthermore, the PSA Hydrogen Generation System H is capable of adjusting hydrogen purity based on the needs of downstream hydrogen users, producing hydrogen with purities ranging from 99% to 99.999%. This high-purity hydrogen is not only suitable for general industrial applications but also meets the stringent standards for hydrogen used in hydrogen fuel cells, thus enabling the widespread application of hydrogen energy.
[0043] The desorbed gas compression system I is used to pressurize the PSA desorbed gas; specifically, the desorbed gas compression system I pressurizes the PSA desorbed gas of the PSA hydrogen extraction system H to 1.5-2.5 MPa (G).
[0044] The fine desulfurization and pressurization system J is used to further pressurize and finely desulfurize the PSA desorbed gas. It removes H2S from the purified and hydrogen-extracted PSA desorbed gas to ≤4 ppb, and then pressurizes the desulfurized PSA desorbed gas to 4-6 MPa(G). Specifically, the purified and hydrogen-extracted PSA desorbed gas passes through a fine desulfurization tower to remove H2S from the gas to ≤4 ppb. Fine desulfurization utilizes dry desulfurization, and the tower is loaded with fine desulfurizers such as zinc oxide and copper oxide.
[0045] The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis system K is used to condense and separate solid wax and liquid hydrocarbons, and at the same time, recycle the obtained purge gas as fuel gas. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis system K is a process in which carbon monoxide and hydrogen are synthesized into hydrocarbon products by a Co catalyst at 160-200°C and a pressure of ~4.0MPa. The main products are divided into liquid products (gasoline and diesel components) and solid products (high-end synthetic wax). The purge gas generated by the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis system K is transported as fuel gas through pipeline 8. Specifically, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis system K includes a shell-and-tube coupled heat exchanger, a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor, a multi-stage condenser, a gas-liquid-solid three-phase separator, a purge gas circulation compressor and a product collection tank.
[0046] Among them, the synthesis gas from the fine desulfurization and pressurization system J is mixed with the circulating process gas from the outlet of the multi-stage condenser, and then enters the shell-and-tube coupled heat exchanger for preheating to a temperature close to the reaction temperature (160-200°C); the preheated mixed gas is transported to the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor, and a hydrocarbon synthesis reaction is carried out under the conditions of Co-based catalyst and ~4.0Mpa(G); the products at the outlet of the reactor enter the multi-stage condenser in turn for step-by-step cooling (temperature gradient controlled at 200°C→120°C→40°C), and liquid hydrocarbons and solid wax are separated; the condensed gas-liquid-solid mixture enters the gas-liquid-solid three-phase separator, and the liquid hydrocarbons are sent to the storage tank through pipeline 6, and the solid wax is sent to the outside for packaging through pipeline 7. The uncondensed gas is divided into two paths: one path is used as purge gas to supply fuel gas through pipeline 8; the other path is pressurized by the purge gas circulation compressor and then returns to the inlet of the shell-and-tube coupled heat exchanger for circulation reaction.

[0053] The process system according to the embodiment of the present invention is used to process the biosyngas, including the following steps:
[0054] (1) Pretreatment for tar removal: The biosynthetic gas at 2-3 kPa (G) and 40°C from the off-site gas tank enters the pretreatment system A, where most of the tar in the biosynthetic gas is removed through the electric tar collector, fiber bed mist collector and other equipment.
[0055] (2) Blower pressurization: The pretreated biosyngas is pressurized to 40 kPa (G) by the blower in the blower system B. After pressurization, the biosyngas is divided into two paths, one for external fuel gas and the other for the pretreatment system C.
[0056] (3) Pretreatment oil removal and desulfurization: The biosynthetic gas from the blower enters the two dry deoiling towers in the pretreatment system C, which removes the tar in the biosynthetic gas to 1 mg / Nm 3 The gas then enters the dry desulfurization tower to remove H2S from the biosynthesis gas to 30-50 mg / Nm3 .
[0057] (4) Compressor pressurization: The biosynthetic gas at 30 kPa (G) and 40°C enters the two centrifugal compressors in the compression system D and is pressurized to 2.0 MPa (G).
[0058] (5) Conversion: The conversion system E converts CO and steam in the biosyngas into H2 and CO2 under the action of gas-solid phase catalysts in order to obtain more hydrogen. The reaction equation is as follows:
[0059] CO+H2O=CO2+H2△Ho298=-41.4KJ / mol
[0060] Specifically, the biosyngas, after being pressurized by the centrifugal compressor in step 4, does not require cooling through a cooler, maintaining a temperature of approximately 130°C and a pressure of 2.0 MPa(G). This gas is first heated in a feed preheater to approximately 180°C. After heating, it is introduced into a detoxification furnace for detoxification and deoxygenation, during which the gas outlet temperature rises to approximately 300°C. Next, the gas is sprayed with water through a humidifier to cool it, and an appropriate amount of steam is added to prepare it for entry into the first stage of the shift converter for the shift reaction. After the first stage of the shift reaction, the gas enters a waste heat boiler to recover its heat as byproduct steam. The gas then passes through a feed preheater again to approximately 200°C before entering the second stage of the shift converter to complete the remaining shift reaction. After the second stage of the reaction, the gas outlet temperature is approximately 220°C, and the carbon monoxide content is reduced to below 15%. Finally, the converted gas will pass through a deoxygenated water preheater and a desalted water preheater to recover the remaining heat, and then pass through an air cooler and a water cooler for cooling, with the final temperature dropping to approximately 40°C.
[0061] (6) Shift desulfurization: The shifted gas enters the dry desulfurization tower in the desulfurization system F to remove hydrogen sulfide to 5 mg / Nm 3 the following.
[0062] (7) MDEA decarbonization: The degassing passes through the raw gas gas-liquid separator in the MDEA decarbonization system G, separates the condensed water and enters the lower part of the absorption tower. The gas is first washed with semi-lean liquid in the lower part of the absorption tower, and part of the CO2 and H2S are absorbed. Then, the gas is washed with regenerated lean liquid in the upper part of the absorption tower to remove the CO2 in the purified gas to below 50ppm.
[0063] (8) PSA hydrogen extraction: The decarbonized gas enters the adsorption tower in the PSA hydrogen extraction system H, which is in an adsorption state, from the bottom of the tower. In the continuous selective adsorption process of multiple adsorbents, various impurities are effectively adsorbed and removed. In this process, the hydrogen that is not captured by the adsorbent will flow out from the top of the adsorption tower. Subsequently, the hydrogen will be stabilized by a pressure regulating system to ensure its pressure is stable, and then sent to the subsequent process section. After the above treatment, high-purity hydrogen with a purity of more than 99.999% can be obtained. This high-purity hydrogen has extremely high value in many industrial applications.
[0064] (9) Desorbed gas compression: The desorbed gas pressure after hydrogen extraction from PSA is only ~0.03MPa(G). After being pressurized to 1.6MPa by a centrifugal or reciprocating compressor, it enters the fine desulfurization and pressurization unit to deeply remove sulfur from the desorbed gas.
[0065] (10) Fine desulfurization and pressurization: There is a trace amount of organic sulfur in the pressurized desorbed gas, and the conversion unit cannot convert all of the organic sulfur into H2S. After the conversion, the gas is relatively clean and the organic sulfur content is low, so only one stage of hydrogenation is required. The pressurized desorbed gas is heated to about 220-250℃ through a gas-to-gas heat exchanger and a steam heater, and then enters the hydrogenation reactor. Here, the organic sulfur in the desorbed gas reacts with hydrogen to convert the organic sulfur into inorganic sulfur.
[0066] The reaction equation is as follows:
[0067] Olefin saturation C2H4+H2→C2H6
[0068] Mercaptan: RSH+H2→RH+H2S
[0069] Sulfide: R1SR2+2H2→R1H+R2H+H2S
[0070] Disulfide: R1SSR2+3H2→R1H+R2H+2H2S
[0071] Thiophene: C4H4S+4H2→C4H 10 +H2S
[0072] Carbon oxysulfide: COS+H2→CO+H2S
[0073] Carbon disulfide: CS2+4H2→CH4+2H2S
[0074] The pressurized desorbed gas undergoes a primary hydrogenation reaction, using a cobalt-molybdenum hydrogenation catalyst, to convert organic sulfur into hydrogen sulfide. Following hydrogenation, zinc oxide desulfurization is used to remove the total sulfur content in the purified gas to less than 4 ppb, meeting the sulfur requirements of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst.
[0075] The desorbed gas after fine desulfurization is pressurized to about 4.0 MPa (G) through a centrifugal or reciprocating compressor and enters the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit.
[0076] (11) Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) is a chemical process that involves converting carbon monoxide and hydrogen into hydrocarbon products under specific temperature and pressure conditions using an appropriate catalyst. The basic chemical reaction of this process can be expressed as:
[0077] nCO+(2n+1)H2→CnH 2n+2 +nH2O
[0078] The raw synthesis gas obtained after being processed by the gas treatment unit will be combined with the process gas after multi-stage condensation treatment. Subsequently, these gas mixtures will enter the shell and tube coupled heat exchanger, where they are preheated to a temperature close to that required for the reaction. After preheating, the mixed gas enters the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor, where a chemical reaction occurs, ultimately generating Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products, including solid wax and light hydrocarbons. Depending on the regional characteristics of the enterprise and changes in the market environment, these products can be combined and adjusted within a certain range to better meet market demand. In addition, Fischer-Tropsch products can be further processed according to the specific circumstances of the market segment, such as extracting elemental straight-chain alkanes. Synthetic wax can also be deeply processed to produce various special waxes, thereby increasing the value of the product by more than 30%.
[0079] After the biosynthesis gas is processed through the above steps, the final material balance is shown in Table 1:

[0081]

The hydrogen is purified and distributed through the PSA hydrogen extraction system, and the remaining gas continues to undergo Fischer-Tropsch synthesis to generate solid wax and liquid hydrocarbons. The entire process system works in coordination to achieve efficient and comprehensive utilization of biosynthetic gas, reduce environmental pollution, and improve economic benefits.
