Claims (15)

  1. Procédé de production d'un substitut de gaz naturel comprenant les étapes de : alimentation d'un gaz d'alimentation comprenant de l'hydrogène, du monoxyde de carbone et/ou du dioxyde de carbone en parallèle à un premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse, un second réacteur de méthanisation en masse et un ou plusieurs réacteurs de méthanisation en masse ultérieurs, chaque réacteur de méthanisation en masse contenant un catalyseur de méthanisation de sorte que le gaz d'alimentation est au moins partiellement méthanisé pour former un écoulement de gaz méthanisé, où le premier, le second et au moins un réacteur de méthanisation ultérieurs sont reliés en série de sorte que le gaz d'alimentation vers le second et chacun des un ou plusieurs réacteurs de méthanisation en masse ultérieurs est dilué avec un écoulement de gaz méthanisé récupéré du réacteur de méthanisation en masse précédent, où tout l'écoulement de gaz méthanisé récupéré du premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse est utilisé pour diluer le gaz d'alimentation vers le second réacteur de méthanisation en masse, une partie de l'écoulement de gaz méthanisé récupéré du second ou du un ou plusieurs réacteurs de méthanisation en masse ultérieurs est remise en circulation dans une boucle de recirculation vers le premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse et utilisée pour diluer le gaz d'alimentation alimenté audit premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse, et où au moins un réacteur de méthanisation en masse est localisé à l'extérieur de la boucle de recirculation.
  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1, le gaz d'alimentation étant un gaz de synthèse désulfurisé obtenu à partir de la gazéification de charbon ou de biomasse.
  3. Procédé selon la revendication 1 ou la revendication 2, le catalyseur de méthanisation fonctionnant à une température d'entrée située dans la plage de 200 à 450°C, préférablement de 200 à 350°C, plus préférablement de 300 à 350°C.
  4. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 3 mis en oeuvre à une pression située dans la plage de 5 à 80 bars abs.
  5. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 4 dans lequel le procédé fonctionne avec N réacteurs de méthanisation en masse, N se situant dans la plage de 3 à 10, préférablement de 3 à 6.
  6. Procédé selon la revendication 5, le nombre de réacteurs de méthanisation en masse dans la boucle de recirculation étant de N-1, ou N-2 lorsque N ≥ 4.
  7. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 6 comprenant quatre réacteurs de méthanisation en masse, avec le recyclage de l'écoulement de gaz partiellement méthanisé depuis le second ou le troisième réacteur de méthanisation en masse vers le premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse de sorte qu'il existe un ou deux réacteurs de méthanisation en masse à l'extérieur de la boucle de recirculation.
  8. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 6 comprenant six réacteurs de méthanisation en masse, avec le recyclage de l'écoulement de gaz partiellement méthanisé depuis le quatrième réacteur de méthanisation en masse vers le premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse de sorte qu'il existe deux réacteurs de méthanisation en masse à l'extérieur de la boucle de recirculation.
  9. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 8, dans lequel les écoulements de gaz d'alimentation alimentés au premier, second et un ou plusieurs réacteurs de méthanisation en masse ultérieurs se situent dans la plage de 10 % en volume à 60 % en volume de la charge d'alimentation totale en gaz alimenté.
  10. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 9, dans lequel la boucle de recirculation comprend un compresseur pour l'écoulement de gaz remis en circulation et un pré-dispositif de chauffage pour le chauffage dudit écoulement de gaz dilué avant d'entrer dans le premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse.
  11. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 10 dans lequel la proportion de l'écoulement de gaz méthanisé recyclé vers le premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse est de 40 à 60 % en volume, préférablement de 45 à 55 % en volume, du gaz méthanisé récupéré du second ou des un ou plusieurs réacteurs de méthanisation en masse ultérieurs.
  12. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 11 dans lequel la température de la partie remise en circulation de l'écoulement de gaz méthanisé est ajustée à une température située dans la plage de 100 à 200°C, préférablement de 120 à 180°C.
  13. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 12, dans lequel la vapeur est ajoutée au niveau de l'orifice d'entrée d'au moins le premier réacteur de méthanisation en masse pour diluer de manière supplémentaire le gaz d'entrée.
  14. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 13 comprenant en outre la soumission d'un gaz produit provenant du réacteur de méthanisation en masse final à la méthanisation supplémentaire dans un ou plusieurs réacteurs de méthanisation de finissage et la soumission d'un gaz produit provenant du réacteur de méthanisation de finissage final à une étape de séchage.
  15. Système de méthanisation pour convertir un gaz d'alimentation contenant de l'hydrogène, du monoxyde de carbone et/ou du dioxyde de carbone en un gaz naturel substitut, ledit train de méthanisation étant adapté pour fonctionner selon le procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 14.
