Liquefied natural gas production from coke oven gas
Thread Content
Is the technology for producing liquefied natural gas from coke oven gas mature? What about the cost-effectiveness?
It is recommended to join the QQ group “Coking Family”, which has many experts in the field of coking
The Southwest Research Institute has technology for producing liquefied natural gas from coke oven gas; you might want to inquire about it
You can also find me! I am currently working on a pilot project at a coking plant in Shandong, converting coke oven gas into natural gas.
I heard the cost is relatively high. It doesn’t make money
I just returned from the Southwest Institute at the beginning of this month to investigate this project, with the aim of finding a use for the coke oven gas produced by our company. Overall, it doesn’t seem promising to produce natural gas. In our case, there’s no way to utilize hydrogen, and producing ammonia through it isn’t profitable. Given the current price of methanol, it’s still better to go with methanol, as it offers greater stability and there are more downstream products available. It’s difficult to develop a natural gas industry chain in these conditions. That’s our situation. Additionally, the Southwest Institute has invested quite a lot; they just completed the pilot tests at the beginning of this month
I don’t know your specific situation! If you have an additional source of CO2, you can also consider adding some CO2 to consume all the H2 through methanation; in this way, almost everything will be converted into natural gas, with no remaining H2. Given the recent recovery in methanol prices, producing methanol is also an option; of course, this requires a comprehensive evaluation. Also, has the Southwest Institute carried out pilot tests? What scale? Where? 6# 283751900
Yeah, where was the pilot production carried out in the Southwest Campus? What was the scale?
7# liujingangren: Is hydrogen gas very expensive? If it can be purified and extracted, it seems there’s no need to worry so much about having no way out Is it really true that what I’ve learned is too theoretical and I don’t understand the market? Hydrogen is used as a reducing gas in many places, right? It’s just the cost that’s high, right?
Generally speaking, there is no technical issue in using coke oven gas to produce liquefied natural gas at present; the key problem is that it is not economically viable.
Friend on the 10th floor, could you send me the economic benefits you’ve achieved?
