AI Technical Summary
Existing methanol reforming hydrogen production systems suffer from problems such as large footprint, low space utilization, high safety risks, and high operation and maintenance costs. Integrated units are difficult to control the danger zone in the event of hydrogen leakage, posing a risk of explosion and combustion.
The methanol-water vapor reforming hydrogen production system adopts an explosion-proof microchannel reactor. The system is divided into independent processing chambers, reaction chambers and collection chambers by partitions inside the chamber. Isolation valves, pressure relief valves and blowing mechanisms are set up to achieve zoned explosion protection and gas dilution. The core device is integrated to reduce the footprint and improve safety.
It improves the system's space utilization, can flexibly adapt to small spaces, has a significant zoning explosion-proof effect, reduces the risk of hydrogen leakage, improves the safety and purity of hydrogen, simplifies the application process, and reduces operation and maintenance costs.
