Investigation of CO2 and H2O Addition to Natural Gas for Production of Synthesis Gas

Abstract:

General modeling and optimization of syngas production via noncatalytic autothermal partial oxidation of methane are carried out using our developed scientific software which was based on the minimization of total Gibbs energy. In this work, a novel application of the direct search and Newton-Raphson methods was introduced to apply to optimization of a complex chemical reaction. Sensitivity analysis was done to investigate the effect of several parameters on the quality of syngas and the production yield. The acceptable concentrations of CO2 and H2O injected into the methane feed are optimized in the specified temperature and pressure range, while H2/CO ratio in the product stream is set to remain at 1.5 or 2, methane slip in the syngas is less than 1.5% and the non-endothermic conversion area of reaction prevail, simultaneously. This facilitates monetizing CO2 in the petrochemical and steel industries. The output from this software is comparable both with the experimental results, cited in Ref [1] , and with that from ASPEN PLUS in simulating the experiments mentioned in Ref [2]

Thermodynamic analysis of methane reforming with CO2, CO2+H2O and CO2+O2 for hydrogen and synthesis gas production

Dry reforming of methane for the production of hydrogen and syngas has attracted much attention from both industrial and environmental aspects. The major problem encountered in the application of this process is the rapid deactivation of the catalyst, which is mainly due to coke accumulation and sintering of the catalyst. As an alternative to reduce the coke formation, the combination of CO2 re...

Simulation of Bioreactors for PHB Production from Natural Gas

Recently, many economic studies of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) PHB production on an industrial scale, and the impact of replacing petrochemical polymers by PHB were carried out, clearly indicating that the most crucial factors to reduce the cost of producing biopolymers are allotted to the application of microbial production strains capable of high productivi...

Theoretical study of the effect of hydrogen addition to natural gas-fueled direct-injection engines

The preparation of air–fuel mixture is considerably dependent on fluid flow dynamics to achieve improved performance, efficiency, and engine combustion in the appearance of flow. In this study, the effects of mixtures of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) on a spark ignition engine are numerically considered. This article presents the results of a direct-injection engine using methane–hy...
