TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Hydrogen energy is a new type of energy with wide sources, clean and low carbon, flexible and efficient, and rich application scenarios, has unique advantages of storage and power generation, and is one of the best solutions to realize large-scale cross-seasonal storage and transportation of renewable energy. However, the hydrogen gas as a hydrogen energy carrier has the problems of production, storage and transportation. Methanol has the highest hydrogen-carbon ratio, and its liquid storage and filling process is very convenient, which is an important high-density hydrogen storage carrier. Using methanol as a hydrogen source for on-site hydrogen production can realize hydrogen production and use, and its intrinsic safety is better than traditional high-pressure gaseous hydrogen source and hydrogen filling station.
[0003] At present, methanol hydrogen production technologies mainly include methanol cracking hydrogen production, methanol partial oxidation reforming hydrogen production, methanol autothermal reforming hydrogen production, and methanol steam reforming hydrogen production. Among them, the methanol steam reforming hydrogen production technology has high hydrogen yield (the proportion of hydrogen in the product can be close to 75%), reasonable energy utilization, and simple process control, and is widely used in the industrial field.
[0004] However, the current methanol hydrogen production technology has the disadvantages of slow start, long time consumption and high energy consumption. Therefore, small-sized methanol reforming hydrogen production modules are integrated to form a large-scale modular methanol reforming hydrogen production technology suitable for modular power generation. Each small-sized hydrogen production module can be started at the same time, so as to shorten the start-up time of the whole large-scale modular methanol reforming hydrogen production system and reduce the start-up energy consumption of the whole hydrogen production system.
