I have a few questions regarding hydrogen production from methanol
Thread Content
What are the factors that can affect the purity of the hydrogen produced? It is said that hydrogen production from methanol is very stable, with only the heating furnace being prone to shutting down? How to operate it? How to avoid it? How do I light the stove?
Factors affecting the quality of product hydrogen: 1. Components of methanol conversion gas. 2. System operating pressure. 3. Degree of desorption and regeneration of the adsorbent. Compared to hydrogen production from natural gas, methanol-based hydrogen production requires lower investment, has a shorter process flow, shorter start-up and shutdown times, and is simpler to operate. However, its operating costs are slightly higher than those of natural gas-based hydrogen production, as methanol is an intermediate chemical product. Regarding the issues related to heating furnaces mentioned by the original poster, the technology behind oil furnaces is now quite mature; a complete oil furnace system should not suffer from frequent flameouts. When choosing an oil furnace system, one should not consider investment factors, but rather focus on ease of operation and stable performance.
The ratio of methanol to ionized water (with the blockage of the methanol filter being a major factor), as well as the pressure swing adsorption time and the composition of the incoming gas, etc
