Definitions
- the present application is directed to the preparation of methanol synthesis gas. More particular, the invention com bines two-step reforming and steam reforming in parallel.
- Production of synthesis gas e.g. for the methanol synthesis with natural gas feed is typically carried out by steam re- forming or a combination of steam reforming and oxygen re forming .
- the product gas from 2-step reforming comprises hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide as well as other compo nents normally including methane and steam.
- this invention provides in one aspect a method for the preparation of a methanol synthesis gas comprising the steps of
- step (d) steam reforming the second feed in parallel with the two-step reforming process) in step (c)to a second synthe sis gas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon di oxide;
- the content of carbon dioxide in the second feed is prefer ably controlled to obtain a module M of 1.6 to 2.6, prefer- ably between 1.85 to 2.35, in the second synthesis gas withdrawn from the steam reforming.
- the methanol synthesis gas ob tained by the method according to the invention has a mod ule M of 1.6 to 2.6, preferably between 1.85 and 2.35.
- the methanol synthesis gas is in a downstream step converted to a methanol prod uct .
- the steam reforming in step (d) can be performed in a con ventional tubular reformer, a tubular reformer followed by an adiabatic reformer where carbon dioxide is added before and/or after the tubular reformer, a bayonet type reformer, a convective reformer or a tubular reformer where carbon dioxide is added into the reformer tubes after the feed has initially come into contact with the reforming catalyst.
- a suitable reforming catalyst composition for use in the steam reforming depends on the amount of carbon dioxide added to the feed and the type of reformer used in the steam reforming. In most cases, a nickel catalyst is suffi cient, but for high carbon dioxide contents in the feed, noble metal catalysts may be required for some types of steam reformers.
- the carbon dioxide for use in the method according to the invention can advantageously be obtained from flue or off- gasses, such as e.g. flue gas stemming from the burners in the steam reformers.
- the feed composition it might be preferred to desulfurize the first feed upstream the two-step reforming and/or the second feed upstream the steam reforming.
- An advantage of the method according to the invention is i.a. a reduced energy consumption and a reduced CO2 foot- print.
- the invention is addi tional useful in increasing production capacity of existing methanol plants based on two step reforming in the produc- tion of methanol synthesis gas or other methanol plants where the reforming section generates a synthesis gas close to stoichiometric M about 2.
- a further aspect of the invention is a method for revamping methanol synthesis gas plant, comprising adding a steam reformer in parallel to an existing two- step reforming section;
