Is dry gas of no use other than as fuel?
Thread Content
Our factory previously used dry gas (CH4) as fuel for its heating furnaces; now we plan to use gas as the fuel. So what can be done with the excess dry gas?
If there is an excess of dry gas, there are many refineries that use dry gas to produce hydrogen nowadays
If the quantity is substantial, considering purchasing another set of LNG could be an option; the price of LNG is quite good these days.
Carbon black – I’m not sure what the current market situation is like:D
To produce methanol via LNG, a relatively large quantity is required, at least 100,000 tons per year.
I don’t know much about methanol; I’ve only been exposed to LNG. If the amount of gas isn’t large, use it in the boiler room for heating
Burn it, but you won’t need that much; about half will be sufficient. The rest was also burned. . .
If the quantity is not sufficient for LNG production, you can supply gas to the urban pipeline network. That’s good too. That’s our flash vapor.
Our company has added a light hydrocarbon recovery unit, namely a dry gas concentration unit. The main purpose is to recover the heavier hydrocarbons in the dry gas. The main components of dry gas should be C1, C2, and hydrogen. The main purpose of this device at present is to recover components with a molecular weight of two or more in the dry gas. Later, it is also planned to add a small px to recover the hydrogen inside. The recovery principle is pressure swing adsorption. Such devices are rare in China, but they offer excellent performance.
What is the dry gas production volume of your company? How many tons per day?
Our dry gas production is around 30,000 standard cubic feet per hour. Mainly catalytic dry gas, hydrogenated light hydrocarbons
