I. INTRODUCTION DIRECT METHANATION - A NEW METHOD OF CONVERTING SYNTHESIS GAS TO SUBSTITUTE NATURAL GAS Howard S. Meyer, Vernon L. Hill, Ab Flowers Gas Research Institute 8600 West Bryn M~WK Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60631 John Happel, Miguel A. Hnatow Catalysis Research Corporation 450 E. Edsall Boulevard ' Palisades Park, NJ 07650 The United States has vast resources of energy in the form of coal. One method of distributing this energy source to the consumer is to gasify the coal and distribute the gas through the existing natural gas pipeline distribution system. However, raw synthesis gas from a coal gasifier is not of sufficient purity and does not provide heating value suitable for use directly as substitute natural gas (SNG). The synthesis gas produced by a coal gasifier requires extensive purification and upgrading before it can be interchanged with natural gas. The current raw gas conversion systems were not specifically designed with the production of pipeline quality gas from coal in mind. Potentially, significant cost reductions could result from the development of an improved, integrated processing system. As part of the strategic objective of improving reliability, operability, or reducing gas costs of coal gasification processes, the Gas Research Institute (GRI) is developing a new process for converting synthesis gas to SNG. The key to this process is the development of a sulfur-resistant, direct methanation catalyst. Preliminary cost estimates show that the direct methanation process could decrease capital costs by over 20% and operating costs by lo%, resulting in gas costs savings of about 15% over state-of-the-art methanation and combined shift-methanation processes. 11. METHANATION PROCESSES A conventional gas processing system, as shown in Figure lA, includes gas quench, water-gas shift, gas cooling,acid gas removal, methanation, dehydration, and compression. These clean-up processes produce separate streams that require further purification so that by-products, such as Sulfur, phenols, ammonia, BTX, and tars, can be isolated for sale whenever possible. The g?s quench utilizes oil and/or water to cool the raw gas and to remove particulates, tars, and oils, and other condensible components. - Water-gas shift (Equation 1) is required to adjust the H2/CO ratio to over 3 CO + H20 - H2 + CO2 1) as needed for methanation. Added steam reacts with the carbon monoxide to produce the required hydrogen. The use of new sulfur-insensitive shift catalysts show an economic advantage by allowing the shift process to be upstream of the gas cooling and acid gas removal systems. The acid gas removal system removes water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur-containing compounds. The current methanation process uses nickel-based catalysts for 109
