The methanol production system using coke oven gas has stopped operating due to insufficient gas supply; can the existing equipment be used to produce other products?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, due to various reasons, one of the two coke ovens in our facility has been shut down; currently, operations are carried out at 50% capacity. The methanol production system has also stopped operating because of an insufficient supply of gas. If we want to make full use of the existing equipment and processes, can we produce other products? Does anyone have any advice?
If in an industrial park, hydrogen, CO, and CO2 can be produced from gas and transported externally.
Currently, the facility utilizes the gas purification unit and desulfurization systems located in front of the conversion furnace; efforts are being made to introduce gas separation technologies (PSA or cryogenic methods) to directly produce methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide for supply to the enterprises in the industrial park. If possible, methanation will also be implemented to produce LNG for sale
