SNG from synthesis gas-operation of single-stage methanation
Methanation plants are important process units in the production of SNG from coal gasification and in the release of heat in the NFE system (Projekt Nukleare Fernenergie - Nuclear Long-Distance Energy Transport Project) EVA-ADAM. In these processes methane is formed from synthesis gases rich in CO, CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/; the reaction is exothermic. Within the framework of the joint NFE project involving the Kernforschungsanlage Julich GmbH (KFA) and the Rheinische Braunkohlenwerke AG, supported by the Federal Republic of Germany, methanation processes have been developed and demonstrated in pilot plants at the Kernforschungsanlage Julich GmbH since 1977. Cooperation between the NFE project and H. Topsoe A/S enabled successful test a single-stage methanation process in a catalytic fixed bed at the KFA Julich with the pilot plant IRMA in September 1981.
