Abstract

The characteristics of the tubular steam reforming process and the role of the catalyst are outlined. Testing of catalytic properties is discussed with special emphasis on difficulties of scaling down from an industrial scale to different types of laboratory reactors. A recirculation-type laboratory reactor was found to be well suited for studies on industrial-size catalyst particles. For the demonstration of new and critical operating conditions, it is necessary to use a pilot plant. A full-size monotube unit for this purpose is described together with data for operation at a low steam-to-carbon ratio.

Enhanced hydrogen production in steam methane reforming: Comparative analysis of industrial catalysts and process optimization
2024, Journal of the Energy Institute
Methane is often produced using fossil fuels or renewable energy sources and utilized as a feedstock for generating syngas. Syngas which is a mixture of hydrogen (H₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) could be produced through a conventional process, steam methane reforming (SMR). The goal of this research was to examine the activity of three industrial catalysts (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3) Ni-based supported on alumina in the SMR process. The operating parameters of the SMR process were analyzed using the response surface method (RSM) with a central-composition design (CCD). For analysis and optimization of H₂ production and CH₄ conversion via RSM, independent variables such as temperature reaction (550–700 °C), gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) (126–185 Scc/gcat.min), and steam/carbon (S/C) molar ratio (1.5–2.1) were used. In addition, various methods were used to analysis the structural characteristics of catalysts both before and after the reaction. Several optimum options were proposed by the design expert software; among industrial catalysts, Type 3 showed the greatest CH₄ conversion (72.59 %), H₂ yield (78.60 %), and lowest coke formation (7.94 wt%) due to its high surface area and more evenly distributed active sites.
Electrified steam methane reforming of biogas for sustainable syngas manufacturing and next-generation of plant design: A pilot plant study
2024, Chemical Engineering Journal
Electrification of the traditional steam methane reforming (SMR) technology for syngas manufacturing has a significant CO₂ reduction potential and make it more feasible to operate in combination with carbon capture/utilization, especially if renewable electricity is used. This pilot plant study demonstrates the first operational experience with industrial-scale electrified steam methane reforming (eSMR) technology using biogas as sustainable carbon feedstock. Across an operating envelope spanning from combinations of 5 to 20 bar_g and 750 °C to 1000 °C, the eSMR produces syngas as expected from thermodynamics. However, without the thermal restrictions inherent in the SMR design, the eSMR can achieve higher temperatures, enables fast transient operation, with high stability and control, thereby increasing the overall performance and design flexibility. Initial thermal responses of the eSMR were tested, demonstrating fast start-up from an idle state to operating conditions, within 2.6 h, including heating from 630 °C to 900 °C. Furthermore, dynamic temperature control was also demonstrated with heating rates up to 330 °C/h. Experimental energy efficiency of the pilot reactor was quantified between 72 % and 80 %, with the residual being heat loss to the surroundings due to the relatively small scale. With further scale-up to ≥1 MW reactor capacity, efficiencies of ≥99 % are predicted with a specific electrical energy consumption of 1.0 kWh/Nm³ H₂. Overall, the efficiency and operational flexibility are improved due to the direct electrical heating of the catalytic system. Combined with biogas as feedstock, this paves the way for attractive and competitive plant designs for sustainable and renewable production of chemicals and fuels.
A unified mechanism for oxidative coupling and partial oxidation of methane
2021, Fuel
The oxidative coupling (OCM) and the partial catalytic oxidation (POM) of methane as well as the homogeneous oxidation of methane (HOM) differ only in the ratio CH₄/O₂ used and of course in the use of a catalyst. It can therefore be considered that their overall reaction mechanism should be the same with elementary reactions of varying importance depending on the type of oxidation reaction studied. We have therefore tried to represent the results obtained during the experimental study of OCM and POM over La₂O₃ and that of the oxidation of methane in gas phase from a single mechanism. At high temperature, OCM and POM are catalytic reactions but their reaction mechanisms are very complex because the surface reactions are coupled to reactions in gas phase by the intermediary of radicals, so both homogeneous and heterogeneous mechanisms occur at the same time. In this work, the development and the validation of a hetero-homogeneous mechanism is proposed for the three reactions. This mechanism is based on elementary steps at the catalyst surface and elementary steps in gas phase for a large range of temperature (973 K–1173 K) and residence time (0.7 s–5.5 s).
Analysis of Ru/La-Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> catalyst loading on alumina monoliths and controlling regimes in methane steam reforming

Modifying dh seems easier than increasing diffusivity by changing temperature or pressure [76]. Industrial steam reformers operate at high Re (1000–10,000) whereas reformers operating in laminar flow range may have significant gas film limitation [77]. All catalytic monoliths here analyzed operated in laminar flow regime with low Re values (less than 6, see Supporting information Figs. S6a and S7a).
In this work Ru (1.5 wt%)/La (3 wt%)-modified-Al₂O₃ coated α-alumina monoliths of different geometries (100 cpsi square channel, 170 cpsi hexagonal channel, diameter 9 mm, length 30 mm) were prepared by in-situ catalyst washcoating technique with catalyst loadings in the range 100–250 mg. The powder and structured catalysts were characterized by various physio-chemical characterization techniques: particle size distribution, zeta potential, slurry viscosity, N₂ physisorption, H₂ chemisorption, X-ray diffraction, washcoat adherence, optic and scanning electron microscopy. The influence of catalyst loading was investigated on geometric, hydraulic and catalytic performance towards methane steam reforming (SMR) reaction by varying temperature (600–900 °C), weight hourly space velocity (WHSV = 27–368 NL h⁻¹ g_cat⁻¹) at fixed molar steam to carbon ratio (S/C = 3.0). Well adhered and uniform catalyst layers were achieved with stable catalytic performance towards methane steam reforming. Characteristic time analysis and dimensionless numbers were utilized to identify the controlling regime in catalytic monoliths. The values of optimum washcoat thickness for 100 cpsi and 170 cpsi monoliths are found to be 58.5 µm and 78.9 µm respectively. SMR is reaction controlled for 100–150 mg catalyst loaded monoliths. No external diffusion control regime is observed. At higher catalyst loadings (>200 mg) SMR is influenced by washcoat diffusion limitation and availability of less contact time for the reaction, suggesting the use of higher cell density monoliths with smaller hydraulic diameter, and higher geometric surface area.
Upgrading of non-condensable pyrolysis gas from mixed plastics through catalytic decomposition and dechlorination
2018, Fuel Processing Technology

Typically, unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons. This is evidenced by the higher decomposition rates of unsaturated hydrocarbons from N2 [31] and during reforming (i.e. in the presence of H2O and CO2) [32,33]. Therefore, when a mixture of hydrocarbons reacts over the catalyst, the unsaturated compounds would be decomposed to a larger extent (as shown in Fig. 3).
The non-condensable pyrolysis gas from plastic pyrolysis is a suitable fuel and precursor for chemical synthesis. Depending on downstream applications, the selective removal of unsaturated hydrocarbons and HCl released from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is required. This study investigated the selective decomposition of unsaturated hydrocarbons with simultaneous dechlorination of non-condensable pyrolysis gas using a catalytic sorbent containing 5% NiO loaded on CaCO₃ support (Ni-Ca) and pristine CaCO₃ (Ca) at different temperatures, doses of catalytic sorbent and HCl contents. As a result, Ca removed 98.8% of HCl and decomposed 89% of alkynes and 23% of dienes at 700 °C. When applying Ni-Ca, the HCl removal was above 99% at all studied temperatures, while 90% decomposition of alkenes, dienes and alkynes was achieved, depending on temperature, Ni-Ca dose and HCl content. The higher HCl content in gas (43 mg against 13 mg) negatively influenced the catalytic activity of Ni-Ca, while increasing the selectivity towards the decomposition of alkenes, dienes and alkynes compared to alkanes. At 700 °C, 99.6% removal of unsaturated hydrocarbons by Ni-Ca was attained at only 10.1% conversion of alkanes. Thus, depending on the applied catalytic sorbent, either selective decomposition of alkynes and dienes (over Ca) or a mixture of unsaturated hydrocarbons (over Ni-Ca) was achieved with the simultaneous HCl removal from non-condensable pyrolysis gas.
An equation-oriented approach to modeling heterogeneous catalytic reactors
2017, Chemical Engineering Journal
At multiscale modeling of heterogeneous catalytic reactors there appear systems comprising a large number of equations. The solution of such systems is an arduous task and available algorithms require voluminous computations.
A modeling strategy has been suggested for such systems. An effective solution algorithm has been developed for a large class of models based on the application of an identical set of numerical tools such as integro-interpolation method, method of straight lines, a special case of a second-order Rosenbrock method, tridiagonal matrix algorithm or Thomas algorithm on each scale of a multiscale reactor model. Step size control is implemented with account for the rate of change of the variables on each scale. The efficiency and robustness of this algorithm were demonstrated at multiscale modeling of heterogeneous catalytic reactors such as tubular reactors, monolith catalytic reactor, and fluidized bed reactor. When switching between reactor types at multiscale modeling it is not necessary to modify the algorithm. The algorithm can also be used for multiscale modeling of heterogeneous catalytic reactors of other types.
