Technical Field

Along with the rapid promotion of the urban and industrialized progress of China, the demand of energy sources for China society is rapidly increased. The hydrogen energy has the advantages of high heat value, zero emission, reproducibility, wide sources and the like, and plays a key role in the process of changing the energy production mode and the consumption mode thereof and in the process of converting the traditional energy structure into the new energy structure.
Methane reforming is an important source of hydrogen energy. Methane is also a greenhouse gas, and after reforming, methane is converted into synthesis gas hydrogen gas, so that clean utilization of methane gas can be realized, and the synthesis gas can be further used for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for synthesizing methanol or other organic compounds. In various utilization modes of methane, the methane steam reforming process is mature, has long history and wide application in the field of chemical synthesis, and is a main mode of industrial hydrogen production at present.

At present, a fixed bed reaction chamber is mostly adopted in a methane steam reforming device, and a catalytic device is relatively simple, so that the problems of more energy consumption, lower hydrogen yield and the like exist. Moreover, the temperature required for the water gas shift reaction is lower than that required for the reforming reaction, and the large temperature difference in the two processes easily causes a great deal of heat waste.

The device has compact structure, can meet the requirement of small-scale hydrogen production, but the internal space of the reaction chamber main body is relatively narrow, the internal structure of the reaction chamber is complex, and the manufacturing and maintenance cost is higher.
Chinese patent CN11 2607705A discloses a hydrogen production device by steam methane reforming and a process, the device connects a hydrodesulfurization device, a reaction chamber for hydrogen production by steam methane reforming, a low-temperature steam shift reaction chamber, a separator and a pressure swing adsorption device in turn, which improves the efficiency of the hydrogen production device by reforming, but the channel design of the reaction chamber is complicated, the applicability of the reaction chamber to different raw gases is poor, the loading of reforming catalyst is complex, and the equipment maintenance and guarantee are possibly difficult.
