摘要:
The present invention comprises a method for production of a CO2-rich gas stream and a H2-rich gas stream, the method comprising the following steps: a) natural gas and water are fed to a reforming reactor and are converted to synthesis gas under supply of a O2-containing gas: b) the gas stream from a) is shifted, whereby the content of CO is reduced and the amounts of CO2 and H2 are increased by reaction of H2O; c) the gas stream from b) is separated in a separation unit into a CO2-rich and a H2-rich gas stream, respectively. The invention also concerns the use of a CO2-rich gas stream for injection into marine formations, and the use of a H2-rich gas stream for hydrogenation, as a source of energy/fuel in fuel cells or for production of electricity.

Dans le procédé de l'invention, du monoxyde de carbone est produit par condensation partielle dans un échangeur de chaleur (310) à partir d'une fraction condensée (322) récupérée en cuve d'un pot séparateur (320). De l'hydrogène impur (321) est procuit en tête de pot (320) et purifié par lavage à l'azote dans une colonne (350). Un mélange de synthèse d'ammoniac est produit à partir du flux d'hydrogène (353) recueilli en tête de ladite colonne. Du monoxyde de carbone est encore produit à partir d'une fraction (351) recueillie en cuve de la colonne de lavage à l'azote (350). Toutes les colonnes et l'échangeur sont dans une boîte froide unique (400).
摘要:
A retrofit method for increasing production capacity of an ammonia plant having a front end including in series primary and secondary reformers and a shift converter for reacting a hydrocarbon feed, steam and air to form a make-up syngas stream comprising hydrogen and nitrogen at about design stoichiometry, and a synthesis loop wherein a recycle syngas stream is combined with the make-up gas to form a syngas feed to ammonia converters. The retrofit involves the installation of an air separation unit to supply oxygen and nitrogen streams. The oxygen is used to enrich air supplied to the secondary reformer and increase the hydrogen content of the make-up gas substantially above the design stoichiometry and capacity. The nitrogen stream is supplied to the synthesis loop to obtain a desired hydrogen to nitrogen ratio in the syngas feed to the ammonia converters and compensate for the excess hydrogen in the make-up gas. The synthesis loop, if desired, is upgraded to include a high activity catalyst converter for increased ammonia production.

Hydrocarbon partial oxidation products are produced by contacting a hydrocarbon with oxygen obtained from an air separation unit A in a reactor B in the presence of a partial oxidation reaction catalyst. After separation of the partial oxidation product from the reactor effluent in unit C, unreacted hydrocarbon is recovered from the effluent in a separator D by adsorbing the unreacted hydrocarbon onto an adsorbent at superatmospheric pressure and removing the adsorbed hydrocarbon from the adsorbent by depressurising said adsorbent and purging the adsorbent with nitrogen obtained from the air separation unit A. The recovered unreacted hydrocarbon is recycled to the partial oxidation reactor B.

Suivant ce procédé, après réchauffement de l'azote issu de la colonne basse pression (11), on le comprime à la haute pression au moyen d'un unique compresseur d'azote (7), et l'on fait fonctionner la colonne basse pression (11) sous une pression de l'ordre de P N /ρ N , ou P N désigne la haute pression d'azote et ρ N le taux de compression dudit compresseur d'azote. Application à la production simultanée d'une part d'azote à haute pureté sous une pression comprise entre 50 et 60 bars, et d'autre part d'oxygène sous 65 bars, pour alimenter une unité de production d'ammoniac.
摘要:
In pressure swing adsorption system for the purification of hydrogen to be used in an ammonia synthesis gas, nitrogen is employed as a purge gas at an elevated purge pressure. The hydrogen recovered at adsorption pressure contains about 20-25% nitrogen and is advantageous for use as said ammonia synthesis gas. The purge gas is expanded to generate power that can be used to compress air being passed to an air separation system. The nitrogen recovered therein can be employed as said purge gas, while the oxygen recovered can conveniently be employed in a hydrogen generation system used to form said hydrogen passed to the pressure swing adsorption system.
摘要:
A process for co-production of ammonia, urea and methanol from natural gas, comprising the steps of (a) producing a synthesis gas by simultaneous feeding natural gas to an au-tothermal reformer (ATR) and to a steam methane reformer (SMR), the two reformers running in parallel, (b) feeding air to an air separation unit (ASU), where the air is split into oxygen, which is fed to the ATR, and nitrogen, (c) subjecting the synthesis gas from the SMR to a water gas shift, (d) removing the carbon dioxide from the synthesis gas from step (c) and leading it to urea synthesis in a urea synthesis unit, (e) combining the hydrogen-rich gas from step (d) with the nitrogen from step (b), removing catalyst poisons from the gases and leading the gas mixture to ammonia synthesis in an ammonia synthesis unit, (f) optionally removing part of the carbon dioxide from the syngas from the ATR in step (a) and leading it to urea synthesis in a urea synthesis unit and (g) leading the syngas from step (f) to the methanol synthesis unit, wherein synthesis gas from step (a) may be led either from the ATR outlet to the SMR outlet upstream from the shift stage or the other way.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for producing chilled water, at least one gas having a low CO 2 concentration, and one or more primary fluids having a high CO 2 concentration from a fluid which is to be treated and contains CO 2 and at least one compound that is more volatile than CO 2 , and from industrial water. Said method comprises the following steps: a) the fluid to be treated is separated into at least the gas having a low CO 2 concentration (44) and the primary fluids having a high CO 2 concentration; and b) the industrial water is chilled by exchanging heat with a fraction of the gas having a low CO 2 concentration, said fraction not amounting to zero, such that the chilled water is obtained. The disclosed method is characterized in that the heat exchange in step b) takes place in a direct-contact tower.
