Methanation plant design for HTGR process heat
Description
This report describes a 40 MW/sub (t)/ Methanation Plant for generating process heat in the form of steam for industrial application. The plant receives syngas via pipeline from a HTGR-Reforming Plant. Conversion of the syngas to methane and water releases exothermic heat which is used to generate steam. Syngas is received at the Methanation Plant at a temperature of 1000F and a pressure of 900 psia. Methane and condensate are returned to the HTGR-R plant at a temperature of 1000F and a pressure of 870 psia. Steam is delivered to the steam distribution system at a temperature of 9000F and a pressure of 900 psia. One isothermal catalytic reactor and two adiabatic catalytic reactors are used for the conversion of syngas to 94.1% (dry bases) methane. The isothermal reactor is also the evaporator used to convert saturated water to saturated steam
