Description

Methane preparation system and methane preparation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of methane preparation, in particular to a methane preparation system and a methane preparation method.
Background
The current methane synthesis process mainly comprises an adiabatic methanation methane synthesis process with circulation and an isothermal methanation methane synthesis process without circulation.
In the isothermal methanation process for synthesizing methane, the methanation reaction speed is high, the temperature of a reaction hot spot is close to the equilibrium temperature, and the temperature of the methanation hot spot is very high for raw material gas with higher carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide content, so that carbon precipitation reaction is easy to occur at the moment to cause the methanation catalyst to lose efficacy. Although the control of the methanation hotspot temperature can be achieved by directly adding a large amount of steam to the feed gas to dilute the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide concentrations in the feed gas, the energy consumption is extremely high due to the need to directly add a large amount of steam. For raw material gas with lower carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide content, the isothermal reaction removes heat, so that the temperature of a methanation hot spot is not high, the methanation reaction speed is reduced along with the temperature reduction, and the catalyst efficiency is reduced.
In the adiabatic methanation process for synthesizing methane, the reacted methane gas is returned to dilute the concentration of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the raw material gas to control the temperature of methanation hot spots, and the equilibrium concentration of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the reacted gas is higher due to higher temperature after adiabatic reaction. For the raw material gas with higher carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide content, in order to control the temperature of methanation hot spots, the circulation amount needs to be increased, the number of adiabatic methanation reactors is increased, and meanwhile, related facilities for recovering the high-temperature heat of the adiabatic methanation reaction gas are also increased, so that the investment is larger, and the energy consumption is relatively higher.
