Technical field
The utility model belongs to coal chemical technology, particularly a kind of flow-reversal cycleoperation reaction unit of synthesis gas methanation.
Background technology
Natural gas is a kind of cleaning, convenient, safe high-grade energy, and its main component is methane.Expect 2020, the consumption demand of China's natural gas year will reach 3000 billion cubic meters, have about 1500 billion cubic meter breach, and externally interdependency will reach 50%.The price of international energy is upheaval sharply, will bring Chinese energy safety to have a strong impact on.The energy resource structure characteristics of oil-poor, the weak breath of China, rich coal have determined that coal will occupy the main status of Chinese primary energy consumption for a long time.Utilize the relatively abundant coal resources of China or biomass resource to prepare synthetic natural gas and have more transport economic specific property and utilize usefulness, be conducive to focus on pollutant, environmental contamination reduction, for the town dweller provides gaseous fuel efficient, cleaning with industry.
Compare with other coal chemical technology routes such as generating, coal liquefaction, coal methyl alcohol processed, coal derived DMEs, coal or biomass-making synthetic natural gas have the energy conversion efficiency height, water consumes less, invests the advantages such as low, good in economic efficiency, are the optimization approach of coal conversion.Synthesis gas full methanation technology is the core technology of coal preparing natural gas.
