This process is based on the convenient source of methanol and desalting water as raw materials, at a temperature of 220-280°C, a special catalyst catalyzes the conversion into converted gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, the principle of which is as follows:
Main reaction: CH3OH=CO+2H2 +90.7 kJ/mol
CO+H2O=CO2+H2 -41.2 kJ/mol
General reaction: CH3OH+H2O=CO2+3H2 +49.5 kJ/mol
Auxiliary reaction: 2CH3OH=CH3OCH3+H2O -24.9 kJ/mol
CO+3H2=CH4+H2O -+206.3 kJ/mol

Auxiliary reaction: 2CH3OH=CH3OCH3+H2O -24.9 kJ/mol
CO+3H2=CH4+H2O -+206.3 kJ/mol
The converted gas resulting from these reactions condenses and consists of
H2 73~74%
CO2 23~24.5%
CO ~1.0%
CH3OH 300ppm
H2O saturated
Pure hydrogen is easily recovered from this conversion gas by separation using technologies such as pressure swing adsorption.
At present, there are about 100 enterprises in China using this technology, and after several years of operation, it has proven that the technology is mature, easy to operate and stable in operation.
Specifications
1、The splitting and conversion of methanol vapor on a special catalyst is carried out at the same time.
2、By adopting pressure operation, the resulting cracked gas can be directly supplied to the PSA hydrogen purification system without further injection, which reduces energy consumption.
3、Compared with electrolysis method, electricity consumption is reduced by more than 90%, operating costs can be reduced by 40 - 50%, and the purity of hydrogen is high. Compared with the coal gas generator, it shows that this technological installation is simple, convenient and stable in operation. Although the cost of raw materials for coal generator is a little lower, but the process is long with a large investment, and the pollution is large, there are many impurities, desulfurization and purification are necessary, etc. Not suitable for small and medium devices.
4、Special catalysts feature high activity, good selectivity, low operating temperature and long service life.
5、Using thermally conductive oil as the circulating heat transfer fluid, the process requirements are satisfied and low investment, low energy consumption and reduced operating costs are obtained.
