Danish researchers develop environmentally friendly syngas generation technology to reduce CO2 emiss

　　According to foreign media reports, Haldor, a Danish Technology University (DTU) and a giant in appearance Science

　　Topsoe, Danish Institute of technology and sintex's research staff cooperated to develop a breakthrough technology to integrate an electric heating catalytic layout into the steam methane reforming (SMR) feeders to produce syngas mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This technology will have a positive impact on the reduction of global CO2 emissions.

　　Wismann revealed: "syngas is a one-sided tension in the manufacture of polymers and chemicals. Today, about 3% of global CO2 emissions come from the syngas manufacturing process, matching the emissions of all airlines. Through research and evaluation, we can reduce the emissions of syngas manufacturing by one third, matching with 1% of global CO2 emissions. "

　　Another key benefit of the new technology is the ability to shrink the size of the syngas feedbacks from a 30 meter long six story device to 100 times smaller than it would otherwise be, thanks to integrated heating. The electric driven methane reformer uses exchange current and simple resistance heating, which is different from the ancient SMR and supplies heat evenly in all feeders.

　　Through computer simulation and laboratory experiments, the research team found that simply electric heating and innovative thin catalytic coating are connected, which can improve the dynamic and catalytic compliance. The electric heat source and the feedback part fight cordially, making the feedback close to the thermal average condition, improving the catalyst operation rate, and limiting the manufacture of unnecessary by-products, including CO2. But the real gain comes from replacing natural gas with electricity and heating to 900 ℃ required for the feedback process. If we use the green power provided by wind turbines or solar panels, we will have a strong future.

　　Peter M lgaard Mortensen, chief scientist of Haldor Topsoe, revealed, "we think that the electric feeders will be the next development trend of the chemical industry. Through this technique, manufacturers can make the whole industry more environmentally friendly without increasing the manufacturing base. "

　　With integrated heating, excellent energy efficiency, and low CO2 emissions, this technology will be extremely trade confusing after abundant development.
