摘要:
A method for producing hydrogen in a steam methane reformer is disclosed. The method provides for the steps of feeding a mixture of fuel and air to a steam methane reformer; feeding a mixture of steam and hydrocarbons to the steam methane reformer; contacting the steam and hydrocarbons with a metal monolith supported catalyst; providing an electric current to the metal monolith supported catalyst; and recovering the hydrogen. The electric current applied to the metal monolith supported catalyst will encounter electrical resistance which will create heat. This heat can supplement that provided for by the reaction of the fuel and air allowing for a reduction in fueling costs as well as treatment costs of the resultant flue gas.
摘要:
A method for reducing the loss of solvent during carbon dioxide capture from flue gas in an amine based solvent process by the steps of feeding a flue gas containing carbon dioxide to an absorber column containing an amine solvent; absorbing carbon dioxide in the amine solvent forming a rich solvent; feeding the rich solvent to at least one inter-stage cooler; recovering the rich solvent and feeding the rich solvent to a regeneration column; separating the carbon dioxide from the rich solvent and recovering the carbon dioxide to form a lean solvent; feeding the lean solvent to the absorber column. The improvement is realized by one of feeding steam to the flue gas; feeding steam to the absorber column after introduction of amine solvent; feeding the flue gas stream to a demister before feeding to the absorber column or increasing the lean solvent inlet temperature into the absorber column.

A method for producing synthesis gas and ammonia by forming a synthesis gas mixture; separating solids from the synthesis gas mixture; subjecting the synthesis gas mixture to a shift reaction and separating the reaction products by a pressure swing adsorption unit. The hydrogen and nitrogen separated in the pressure swing adsorption unit are fed to an ammonia reactor to produce ammonia.

摘要:
A method for separating carbon dioxide from a flue gas stream wherein the flue gas stream is fed to an absorber column thereby producing a carbon dioxide depleted flue gas stream and wherein carbon dioxide absorbed from the carbon dioxide rich flue gas stream in the solvent is fed from the absorber column to a stripper column as a carbon dioxide rich solvent blend. The method is an improvement over prior carbon dioxide separation process by feeding the flue gas stream to a gas pre-treatment device prior to feeding into the absorber column preferably for decreasing the oxygen content in the flue gas and recycling a carbon dioxide product from the stripper column to the absorber column to increase the carbon dioxide content in the flue gas.

摘要:
A process for generating a syngas from a CO2-rich and hydrocarbon-containing feed gas, wherein a CO2-rich and hydrocarbon-containing feed gas is provided and is reacted in a syngas generation step by means of partial oxidation or steam reforming to give an H2- and CO-comprising syngas. At least CO2 is removed from the feed gas in a scrubbing of the feed gas by means of a scrubbing medium, before the feed gas is fed to the syngas generation step.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of hydrocarbon products comprising the steps of a) providing a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; (b) reacting at least part of the synthesis gas to an oxygenate mixture comprising methanol and dimethyl ether in presence of one or more catalysts which together catalyse a reaction of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to oxygenates at a pressure of at least 3 MPa; (c) withdrawing from step (b) a reaction mixture comprising amounts of methanol, dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide and water together with unreacted synthesis gas and cooling the reaction mixture to obtain a liquid phase with the amounts of methanol, dimethyl ether and water and simultaneously dissolving carbon dioxide in the liquid phase; (d) separating the carbon dioxide containing liquid phase from a remaining gaseous phase comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide; (e) evaporating and reacting the liquid phase being withdrawn from step (d) in presence of a catalyst being active in the conversion of oxygenates to higher hydrocarbons and a tail gas comprising carbon dioxide; (f) separating tail gas from a liquid phase with the higher hydrocarbons; and wherein pressure employed in step (c) to step (f) is substantially the same as employed in step (b).
摘要:
A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method provides a tail gas stream that is compressed and reformed by at least one of partial oxidation and steam reforming apparatus to produce a synthesis gas with a hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio. The synthesis gas produced is usable for downstream synthesis of synthetic fuels and/or oxygenates. An apparatus is also provided.
