PROII simulation analysis of hydrogen production from natural gas steam reforming
天然气水蒸汽重整作为最重要的制氢工艺之一,需要消耗大量天然气,通过优化重整工艺,能有效减少天然气消耗。应用化工模拟软件PROII,对天然气水蒸汽重整制氢工艺中转化及中变反应过程进行了模拟。反应后残余甲烷干基含量(物质的量分数)的模拟值与实测值的误差小于1.5%,表明模型可靠有效。利用模型对转化及中变反应过程的操作参数进行了灵敏度分析。结果表明,当水碳比(物质的量之比)为3.0、转化炉出口温度为820 °C、转化气出口压力为1.2 MPa时,天然气甲烷转化率较高(约87%),燃料消耗量较少(约70 m

Abstract
Natural gas steam reforming
as one of the most important hydrogen production processes
requires a significant amount of natural gas consumption. By optimizing the reforming process
it is possible to effectively reduce natural gas consumption. Using the chemical simulation software PROII
the conversion and shift reaction processes in the hydrogen production process from natural gas steam reforming were simulated. The error of the simulated value and the measured value of residual methane dry basis content (amount-of-substance fraction) is less than 1.5%
indicating that the simulation model is reliable and effective. Sensitivity analysis of the operating parameters in the conversion and shift reaction processes was also conducted based on this simulation model. The results show that when the water-carbon ratio (mole ratio) is 3.0
the outlet temperature of the conversion furnace is 820 ℃
and the outlet pressure is 1.2 MPa
the methane conversion rate of natural gas is higher (about 87%)
and the fuel consumption is lower (about 70 m
3
/h). This is the optimal reforming condition and can be used as important process control indicators for actual production process.
