The first domestic self-manufactured methanation reactor

The most important part of the synthesis of methane is natural gas. One step in coal-based natural gas is the methane chemical segment. It is the use of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to produce methane through methanation. It is also the main component of natural gas, and is mainly used in the ammonia industry. A small amount of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are removed from the feed gas to avoid catalyst poisoning. The methane reactor used for methane reaction has always been a blank in the domestic production field! However, the latest news: China can independently develop methane reactor!

It is reported that the domestic first-generation methanation reactor was successfully manufactured at Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Group's coal chemical branch. The first batch of 7 products was shipped to users in recent days. The technical, performance and other indicators of the equipment have reached the international advanced level of similar products.

These 7 sets of products are manufactured by the Taizhong Coal Chemical Company for Inner Mongolia Datang International Keshiketengqi Coal-based Natural Gas Company. The methanation unit uses three fixed-bed reactors to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide during the coal gasification process, and then to synthesize carbon monoxide and hydrogen into methane.

With continuous technological innovation and the commencement of the 12th Five-Year Plan, methane reactors will inevitably follow the footsteps of even the world's methane reactors in the process of independent production, and continue to explore and innovate in technology, ushering in a new era of domestic energy production!
