Methanol production system and method based on the co-utilization of landfill waste and landfill gas

This invention relates to a method for the co-utilization of existing landfill waste and landfill gas to produce renewable methanol. RDF (Regenerative Thermal Deposition Facility) is pretreated and then purified into high-temperature syngas through pyrolysis, plasma gasification, desulfurization, and steam reforming. This purified syngas is mixed with steam-reformed landfill gas and green hydrogen obtained from water electrolysis, and the ratio is adjusted to obtain a methanol reaction feedstock gas satisfying [H2 / (2CO+3CO2)=0.9-1.1]. The feedstock gas is then used to produce methanol through a methanol synthesis reaction. Under a recycle ratio of 0.6-0.8, the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the syngas is 0.89-1.01, the methanol production exceeds 17 tons / hour, the system energy efficiency exceeds 75%, and the CO2 equivalent emission reduction rate is 82.5-91.7%. This invention achieves complementary carbon source utilization and hydrogen-to-carbon ratio through the parallel use of landfill waste and landfill gas as dual gas sources, improving system load stability and heat cascade utilization efficiency, and providing a new solution for the co-resource utilization of waste and the large-scale production of renewable methanol.

Construction method of landfill horizontal well structure

This invention discloses a construction method for a horizontal well structure in a landfill. The method involves horizontally directional drilling into the landfill to form a horizontal well channel. During the pullback process, prestressed tendons, after prestressing tension, drive the horizontal well perforated pipe through both sides of the landfill area, enabling the drainage of leachate and landfill gas between landfill layers. This invention applies prestressed tendon tensioning technology to the perforated pipe structure for horizontal drainage in the landfill, allowing for the horizontal gravity-flow drainage of leachate. This effectively controls the leachate level in the landfill, reduces water retention in the landfill, and ensures the safe operation of the landfill and the stability of the landfill after closure. The method offers advantages such as flexible construction, high cost-effectiveness, rapid progress, and applicability to the construction of horizontal wells in various types of landfills and multi-span areas.
