Lee, A L

The first-cut design data acquisition for the Direct Methanation Process (a catalytic process based on the reaction of equimolar concentrations of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to form methane and carbon dioxide in the presence of high concentrations of sulfur compounds) using a Westinghouse-type raw gas and that using a dry-bottom Lurgi-type raw gas were completed. The GRI-C-600 series catalyst, developed by Catalysis Research Corporation, was evaluated with the first-stage and the third-stage Lurgi-type raw gases, and the standard gas. The GRI-C-600 series catalyst showed an average of 34% higher conversion than the GRI-C-500 series catalyst. A microprocessor-controlled reactor system was modified to include two parallel reactors so that life test of two catalysts can be conducted simultaneously. The COS hydrolysis/hydrogenation reactions at conditions of the shift converter of a Westinghouse base case were determined.
