VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINES METHANREICHEN GASES

A methane-rich gas stream is produced by catalytic methanation of synthesis gas feed comprising H2 and CO. When the mole % CO in the synthesis gas feed to the methanator is greater than 10 mole %, and the mole ratio H2/CO is in the range of greater than 1.0 to 3, by adjusting the mole % CO2 in the s...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A methane-rich gas stream is produced by catalytic methanation of synthesis gas feed comprising H2 and CO. When the mole % CO in the synthesis gas feed to the methanator is greater than 10 mole %, and the mole ratio H2/CO is in the range of greater than 1.0 to 3, by adjusting the mole % CO2 in the synthesis gas feed to the methanator to a value in the range of about 0.5 to 20, and the mole ratio H2/CO2 in the range of about 2 to 60 and preferably less than 3.9 it was unexpectedly found that a product gas is produced having a gross heating value which is greater than that which is obtained from a dry CO2-free methanator feed gas.
