Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of methanol production technology, specifically to a conversion furnace device for producing methanol from natural gas. Background Technology

[0002] Methanol (CH3OH) is an important chemical raw material, widely used in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether), dimethyl ether, and other chemicals. It is also used as a fuel and solvent. Industrially, methanol is mainly synthesized by reacting carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with hydrogen (H2) in the presence of a catalyst.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: the current converter structure usually has the tube bundles used for the reaction arranged around the burner, and the hot gas generated by the burner flows vertically upward to the flue gas outlet. A large amount of heat cannot be directly used to heat the tube bundles, resulting in a large amount of energy waste and inconvenience in use.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a conversion furnace device for methanol production from natural gas, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0006] A converter for producing methanol from natural gas includes a reaction assembly. A flue gas exhaust assembly is fixedly installed on the top of the reaction assembly. The reaction assembly includes a combustion chamber. A collection tray is fixedly installed at the bottom inner side of the combustion chamber. A plurality of reaction tube bundles are fixedly installed on the top of the collection tray, arranged in a ring array. A burner is fixedly installed in the center of the collection tray. A top cover is fixedly installed on the top of the combustion chamber. An installation strip is fixedly installed inside the top cover. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom end of the installation strip. A baffle block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod, and the baffle block is located on top of the burner.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a flue gas exhaust assembly is fixedly installed on the top of the reaction assembly, which facilitates the combustion inside the reaction assembly to provide heat for the reaction gases to react. The flue gas generated during combustion is discharged from the flue gas exhaust assembly. Several reaction tube bundles are fixedly installed on the top of the collection tray, which facilitates the filling of catalyst inside the reaction tube bundles. This allows natural gas and water vapor to be heated and react inside the reaction tube bundles to produce methanol. The gas after the reaction is completed enters the collection tray for collection. A burner is fixedly installed in the middle of the collection tray, which allows the burner to spray flames to heat the reaction tube bundles inside the combustion chamber, making it easier to raise the internal temperature of the reaction tube bundles to the reaction temperature. The installation strip and connecting rod facilitate the fixed connection of the baffle block to the combustion chamber. The baffle block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod and is located on the top of the burner. The baffle block guides the high-temperature flue gas generated by the burner to flow towards the surface of the reaction tube bundles, improving the utilization rate of heat.

[0008] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided on one side of the collection tray, and the discharge port is located outside the combustion chamber.

[0014] Furthermore, the smoke exhaust assembly includes a smoke exhaust pipe, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, which facilitates the discharge of high-temperature flue gas inside the combustion chamber through the exhaust pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, an air inlet plate is fixedly installed on the top of the exhaust pipe, and a feeding interface is provided on the outer side of the air inlet plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a feeding interface is provided on the outer side of the air intake plate, which facilitates connection to external pipelines and allows natural gas mixed with water vapor to be introduced into the air intake plate.

This allows natural gas and water vapor to react and produce methanol inside the reaction tube bundles. The gas after the reaction is completed enters the collection tray for collection. A burner is fixedly installed in the middle of the collection tray, facilitating the flame emitted by the burner to heat the reaction tube bundles inside the combustion chamber, thus raising the internal temperature of the reaction tube bundles to the reaction temperature.
