Mitigating CO2 impact of industrial steam methane reformers by AG2STM technology / A. Bassani, D. Previtali, C. Pirola, G. Bozzano, S. Colombo, F. Manenti. ((Intervento presentato al 12. convegno Conference on sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems (SDEWES) tenutosi a Dubrovnik nel 2017.
Abstract:
The aim of this work is to evaluate the potential application of a new sustainable technology, called
AG2STM (Acid Gas to Syngas), on steam reforming process in order to reduce the CO2 emissions.
Indeed, steam reforming has high emissions of CO2, at almost 7 ton/h of CO2 per 1 ton/h of H2
produced. The key idea of the new technology is to convert CO2 and H2S coming from natural gas
desulfurization into additional syngas. Coupling different software, i.e. Aspen HYSYS and
MATLAB®, a complete plant model, able to manage the recycle of unconverted acid gases, has
been developed. The importance of introduced innovations is highlighted and a comparison
between the old process and the new one with AG2S technology is built up. The main conclusion
is that the new plant definitely leads to improvements from environmental and technical point of
view reducing CO2 emission of about 0.3%.
