Influence of nanocatalyst on oxidative coupling, steam and dry reforming of methane: A short review

From natural gas to ethylene: a study on combining oxidative coupling of methane with steam reforming

Simulation of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell with External Steam Methane Reforming and Bypass

Fuel flexibility is a significant advantage of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and can be attributed to their high operating temperature. The eligibility of a combined heat and power (CHP) system has been investigated as a new power generation methode, in this study. Natural gas fueled SOFC power systems via methane steam reforming (MSR) yield electrical conversion efficiencies exceeding 50% and...

Dry Reforming of Methane Using Cold Plasma; Kinetic Model Study

In this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and gliding discharge plasma microreactors. A chemical kinetic model was developed to describe the experimental behavior observed. The kinetic model is proposed based on the assumption that the reactant molecules CH4 or CO2 are attacked by active species produced b...

Miniplant-Scale Analysis of Oxidative Coupling of Methane Process

For more than three decades, Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) process has been comprehensively investigated as an attractive alternative for the commercially available ethylene production technologies such as ethane and naphtha cracking. Developing a suitable catalyst and proper reactor feeding policy, reviewing and deploying the efficient methods in the separation and purification of the un...

CFD modeling and control of a steam methane reforming reactor

This work initially focuses on developing a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an industrialscale steam methane reforming reactor (reforming tube) used to produce hydrogen. Subsequently, we design and evaluate three different feedback control schemes to drive the area-weighted average hydrogen mole fraction measured at the reforming tube outlet ( x̄H outlet 2 ) to a desired set-point va...
