Problems with the gas generation process
Thread Content
Our company uses carbon dioxide and oxygen in combination with coke to produce carbon monoxide for gas generation. Recently, the hydrogen content in the product gas has been relatively high; I would like to ask everyone where this hydrogen comes from What reactions occurred? How should this be solved? The product gas needs to be vented; otherwise hydrogen will accumulate in the system. I’m not quite sure about this – doesn’t the hydrogen go to the subsequent processing stages along with the product gas? Under what circumstances does hydrogen accumulation occur? Welcome, everyone, for your guidance!
Hydrogen is produced as a result of the high-temperature reaction between water and coke; this reaction yields carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The intake air needs to be dry; by removing water, hydrogen production should be prevented.
If the product discharge pipeline is located low due to the low density of hydrogen, the hydrogen will accumulate in the upper part
