Methanation in catalyst-sprayed tube wall reactors: a review

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5156652· OSTI ID:5156652
; ; ;
The design and operation of catalyst-sprayed tube wall reactors for methanation are discussed. Reactor tubes were either coated on the inner surface or on the outer surface with a Raney nickel catalyst. A liquid coolant, which was opposite the catalyst-reactant gas-side, removed the heat of methanation. Catalyst performance, reactor operating conditions, spent catalyst analyses, and other results are presented for five PDU tests.
