Seeking help with transformation process
Thread Content
Why does the total gas volume increase after the conversion of water-gas containing CO at 30 to one with a value of 18? What is NM3?
The flow meter is broken. The transformation reaction is theoretically an isovolumetric reaction with no phase change. In the case of water-gas, there is usually a large amount of saturated water vapor entering the shift reactor; this vapor continues to condense during the shift process, and by the time it exits the reactor, only dry gas remains. This should be understandable to everyone. Is there nothing missing in the middle? If your dry gas is mixed with water or steam in the shift process, an increase in flow rate is normal, as what enters the shift reactor is CO + CO2 + H2, and water also needs to be taken into account when considering the output from the shift reactor.
