Description

The method of coal based synthetic gas methanation production substitute natural gas
Technical field: the invention belongs to gasification comprehensive application technology field, relate to coal based synthetic gas methanation production substitute natural gas processing method.
Background technology: the seventies in 20th century, the oil supply crisis first time since the industrialization revolution has appearred in the world, has caused national governments and the entrepreneur extensive concern to the substitute energy exploitation.West Germany LURGI and South Africa coal, oil, gas company at that time, at an other cover half industrialization coal system substitute natural gas (the Substitute Natural Gas that built of South Africa F-T coal-to-oil factory, be called for short SNG) testing apparatus, simultaneously, LURGI and Austrian Ai Erpasuo natural gas companies have been built another set of half industrialized SNG testing apparatus at the Austria Vienna petroleum chemical plant.Two cover testing apparatuss have all carried out the running of long term, have obtained gratifying test result.On this basis, big plain in u.s.a in 1984 has built up 3,890,000 m 3The coal system SNG factory of/d produces SNG 12.7 hundred million m per year 3, product gas contains methane 96%, and this factory builds up so far, normally moves more than 20 year.The Sweet natural gas factory that Denmark Tops φ e company built up 7.2 ten thousand m3/d in the U.S. in 1978 was forced to close down because oil price is reduced to and can't keeps production in 1981.
In recent years, along with oil price is constantly soaring, the energy security problem has caused showing great attention to of all circles once more, produces SNG by coal through the synthetic gas methanation and receives publicity once more.2007, Tops φ e company released coal system SNG Technology again, and this technology is adjusted to appropriate H with the synthetic gas that gasification obtains through sulfur-resisting transformation 2/ CO (being slightly larger than 3) purifies the H that removes in the synthetic gas then 2S, CO 2Deng sour gas, pass through high-temperature methanation technology (TREMP at last TM) make SNG.At present, Power Holding is just building 4Mt/a coal tubulation road Sweet natural gas project in the Illinois of the U.S., plan to go into operation in 2010.The TREMP methanation technology that this project adopts Tops φ e company to provide.
Year surplus the research of domestic employing gas methanation technology production city gas has carried out 20, and built factory.Its main purpose is to reduce the CO content in the coal gas and improve calorific value, usually, and CH in the product gas 4Content lower (about 10%), CO content higher (10~20%), the limited (<15MJ/Nm of the raising of calorific value 3), although reached the combustion gas standard of national regulation, can not effectively solve CO 2Emission problem, the fuel gas supply system of samll cities and towns in being mainly used in.
China is the country of " rich coal, oil-poor, weak breath ", exploitation coal system SNG technology and then the coal system of construction SNG device have good economic benefit in the soaring oil prices epoch, to solving the problem of complex utilization of coal resources, alleviate the present situation of Chinese hydrocarbon resources shortage, safeguard the energy security of China, realize CO 2Reduce discharging, protect environment all significant.
Usually contain more CO in the coal gas that gasification produces, this kind coal gas is low toxic with CO because of its calorific value, is unsuitable for direct fuel as gas and circulating power station and uses; In the presence of catalyzer, CO all can be converted into methane, substitute natural gas that Here it is.With gas reforming is the process (namely for methane reaction process) of methane, and contingent reaction comprises in the methanation:
CO+3H 2→CH 4+H 2O+206.2KJ/mol (1)
CO 2+4H 2→CH 4+2H 2O+165KJ/mol (2)
2CO+2H 2→CH 4+CO 2+247.5KJ/mol (3)
CO+H 2O→H 2+CO 2+41KJ/mol (4)
Peggy Y.Hou thinks CO and H 2Carry out according to reaction (3) on molybdenum sulfide catalyst, speed of reaction is 1 grade to CO, to H 2It is 0.5 grade.CO as reaction product 2, suppress CH 4Generating rate.MoS 2The activation energy of catalyzed reaction is 31kJ/mol, is significantly less than transition metal-catalyzed methanation.And research is at present mostly carried out according to reaction (1) with practice, uses to contain cobalt or nickel-containing catalyst, generates methane at 200~350 ℃ of following CO shortenings, is a kind of Special Circumstances of F-T method synthetic hydrocarbon liquid fuel.Methanation reaction has following two classes to use as a kind of purification techniques usually: (A) be used for removing process gas (as refining H 2Or ammonia synthesis gas) a spot of CO and CO in 2(B) town gas is detoxified by the CO methanation and is improved calorific value.
Because CO content is higher in the coal based synthetic gas, and the thermal discharge of methanation reaction is very big, about 70 ℃ of the thermal insulation warming that the CO methanation of one percentage point is brought.When the reaction mixture gas body during by the adiabatic beds temperature sharply raise, too high temperature can cause catalyst deactivation on the one hand, and molecular balance is moved to the left, and is unfavorable for improving outlet CH 4Concentration.Can take following mode to reduce reaction temperature rising:
A) gas---exhaust gas separated into two parts after overcooling that will come out from reactor, wherein a part enters subsequent processing, another part as circulation gas with enter reactor after virgin gas is mixed, to reduce CO content in the inlet tower gas, the high-temperature methanation technology (TREMP of typical technology such as the exploitation of Denmark Tops φ e company TM).The shortcoming of this technology is in order to reach rational thermal insulation warming, and internal circulating load is bigger usually, causes energy consumption bigger;
B) adopt the mode that adds a large amount of water vapors to make the thermal insulation warming that the reduction of CO content is reacted with control in the imported raw material gas, typical technology such as the exploitation of ICI company once pass through methanation process, the shortcoming of this technology is that a large amount of steam also makes the available gas amount of reaction less relatively in diluting reaction gas, and the integral energy utilization ratio is lower;
C) adopt a plurality of reactors in series, the exhaust gas of last reactor enters a back reactor after cooling, stepwise reaction moves heat step by step, the shortcoming of this technology is the synthetic gas for high concentration CO, the difficult control of first section thermal insulation warming, produce high-quality substitute natural gas, required placed in-line number of reactors is many;
D) use drum to move the shell and tube-type reactor of heat; Take away a large amount of reaction heat by the vaporization of boiled water, keep reaction bed temperature in narrower warm area.
