Methanol Reformer For Production Of Hydrogen By Low Tempreture And High Pressure Technnology

Methanol Reformer for the production of hydrogen by Low Tempreture And High Pressure technnology

Preface     

Methanol (CH₃OH) is a clean and efficient fuel. Like cracking ammonia, the process of methanol reforming produces no pollution. Production costs are moderate and investment is low. Methanol can be produced from renewable sources like bio gas and therefore is a green fuel. Like ammonia, methanol (CH₃OH) is well suited as hydrogen carrier. Since methanol is liquid at ambient temperature, it can be transported in tanks easily. This is a big advantage compared to hydrogen gas.

Technical features:
It is a mature production technology, which can be operated safely and reliably.
The feedstock is easy to get by a relatively stable price, and transported and stored easily too.
The process flow is short and simple.
Both energy consumption and production cost are relative low.
Less land-occupation and investment, which can be recovered in a short period.
Operation is simple and easy, and the automation is high.
No environmental pollution.

Process Flow Diagram
The mixture of methanol and demineralized water, after pressurized, evaporated and superheated to a certain temperature, is fed into a reactor, where the reforming gases including H2,CO2,CO etc. are formed under the action of the catalyst. The mixed gas is treated through the purification technology of PSA to get high purity hydrogen in one cycle.
