PROBLEM AND SOLUTION

6. Describe the problem to be solved by the project:

a. Problem description

Applicant response Methanol is one of the basic semi-finished productions widely used in chemical industry for the synthesis of various organic substances and polymers. Global methanol production is growing intensely (Slide 2 in the Application Annex), and in the years to come it will exceed 100 mln. tons per year [10, 20 http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. The methanol production technology development trends are associated to a large extent with the improvement of the syngas obtaining methods, which production takes up to 60% of total capital costs. They are also aimed on the maximum integration and optimization of the two major production process phases: syngas production and methanol synthesis by means of the syngas catalytic conversion [1-4,6,7,12, http:// htr.spb.ru/lit]. However, the performance of traditional technologies using petrol gases steam reforming (PG), and especially modern combined autothermal reforming technologies (ATR) is fully reached only when large-scale plants with the capacity over million tons of methanol per year are built, which requires enormous investments, extensive infrastructure and large operating personnel [3,4,6,9, http://htr.spb.ru/lit ]. The prospects of LTT methanol production are associated with the development of medium- and small-scale crude oil deposits which total reserves are over 50% of crude hydrocarbons. A number of domestic oil- and gas producing companies consider methanol as a standalone products for the produced gas monetization, its LTT production is able to contribute to the business marginality while the direct natural gas sale is less profitable [10, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. LTT methanol production at the places of its recovery and consumption will also help solve ecological issues associated with flare gas combustion. Application of methanol as the main mean preventing hydrating at the natural gas recovery and transportation is an important market segment. Using methanol for this purpose in 2015 reached 400 thousand tons and made 17% of the whole consumption in Russia [10, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. In view of this, the two-times and more growth of the methanol cost due to its transportation from the places of production to the crude hydrocarbons recovery places in remote and hard-to-reach areas in the North and Siberia is a challenging economical and logistics problem [9-11,14, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. Thus, the development of new technologies for creating cost-effective LTT methanol production facilities located directly in the areas of operating or suspended deposits, or on the sites of large-scale lacquer, paint, highly-active motor fuel additives manufacturers and other chemical industry enterprises, is a topical issue [4,9-11,14,15, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. The aim of the technical solution we propose is meeting the main requirements to LTT production facilities: reliability, simple technology, minimum mass and dimensional characteristics, packaged design for easy transportation, installation and operation in severe climatic conditions, low capital costs and maximum degree of integration with available infrastructure: sources of raw materials, utilities, engineering netwokrs.

7. How does the project solve the described problem and what does the innovative approach consist in

The innovative LTT methanol production technology we propose is based on a two-stage process: - uncatalytic partial PG oxidation inside an original gas generator for obtaining syngas with required parameters (invention application No.2016133558 “Method for obtaining hydrogen-containing gas for methanol production and a facility for this purpose”), - methanol catalytic conversion. Partial oxidation is a PG (methane, natural gas) burning with the lack of oxidizing agent (air, enriched air, oxygen) goes on over the hear-producing reaction CH4 + 0,5O2 = CO + 2H2. It is widely applied in modern autothemal reforming technologies (ATR) of methanol production, where at the phase of syngas production steam reforming is combined with partial oxidation of a PG portion. This allows significant reduction of the raw material consumption for heating the steam reforming reactors and securing the thermal balance of the facilities due to heat-releasing of the partial oxidation reaction. The most well known ART by Haldor Topsoe, Denmark [6, 7,12, http://htr.spb.ru/lit ].

In Russia theoretical and experimental study of the PG partial oxidation process was conducted at the SPC Energomash named after V.P. Glushko, A.V. Topichev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis RAS, Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics RAS, L. Ya. Karpov Research Physics and Chemistry Institute, Joint Institute of High Temperatures (JIHT) RAS, State Scientific Center FSUE Keldysh Center, D.F. Ustinov Baltic State Technical University VOENMEKH, Group of Companies Energosintop [1-5, 15, http://htr.spb.ru/lit ]. New results were obtained by VTR LLC and GSG LLC, St.Petersburg, which employees are included in the applicants’ creative team. R&D was performed and experimental samples of original GSG (Syngas Generators) for hydrogen, ethylene production, waste disposal facilities and other applications [RF patents No.No. 2369431, 2441183, 2521377, 2523824, 2534991, 2535121, 2561077]. The activities on the creation of the hydrogen-containing gas pre-treatment facility for methanol synthesis are in progress [5, http://htr.spb.ru/lit ]. We offer use our own design of syngas generators (GSG) to support the partial oxidation reaction, the generator operating principle is similar to liquid rocket engines, the generators have high performance at low energy consumption for PG conversion and low mass and dimensions characteristics, which sets them apart from any other analogues. The advantages of the PG partial oxidation technology realized basing on the original gas generators designed by VTR LLC, are as follows: - significantly smaller mass and dimensions GSG characteristics as compared with the analogues, the possibility to conduct the process at high pressures of 5.0–10.0 MPa without further gas compression for methanol catalytic synthesis; syngas obtaining with the mole ratio Н2/СО 1.8–2.1; obtaining high CO/CO2 ratio; no need to use catalyst agents; possibility to maintain low steam/gas ratio in the source steam-gas mixture (0.1–0.2) which provides the possibility to reduce the carbon dioxide content in the hydrogen-containing gas at the GSG release; possibility to use heat from the heat-releasing reaction for heating the raw material and industrial steam generation. as opposed to the traditional steam reforming, no need to consume a part of the raw material for the reactor heating which significantly reduces the utilities cost; lower consumption of demineralized water for the process and for the units cooling; significantly loser production cost for nonstandard equipment of the syngas production facility as compared with the steam catalytic conversion reactors; high GSG repairability due to the modular nature of the proposed collapsible structure; lower GSG start/stop time, which is under 30 s. The drawback the hydrocarbons partial oxidation technology is the use of costly oxygen which raises the fire- and explosion hazard grade for the facilities and causes the growth of capital and operation costs for syngas obtaining. This significant drawback can be eliminated by using air or enriched air as an oxidizing agent. At that, the process efficiency slightly decreases due to significant growth of ballasting nitrogen content in the hydrogen-containing gas. The second stage of the production process is innovative as well. The methanol catalytic synthesis is performed using an original scheme developed by the team of applicants and including three sequential isothermic reactor. Application of one-pass technique enables exclusion of gas recycling and technology simplification [15, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. The possibility of efficient methanol synthesis in the conditions of syngas intensely ballasted with nitrogen was experimentally proved, which allows using the air as an oxidizing agent, exclude the air separating facility and significantly simplify the technology [16, http://htr.spb.ru/lit].

8. Describe the main technological and market trends in the industry under consideration

a. Description of trends

At present over 90% of methanol are produced with steam natural gas reforming with further conversion of the obtained syngas under pressures 4.5–10.0 MPa and temperatures 200–250°C in the presence of catalyst agents based on copper-zinc compositions. The classical syngas obtaining process flow chart includes two-phase natural gas (methane) steam reforming that follows the heat-releasing reaction CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2. In the initial reforming the process takes place in the presence of nickel catalytic agents at the temperature 800–830°C and pressure up to 3.5 MPa. The secondary residual gas reforming takes place at 1000–1100°C and pressure up to 3.0 MPa. The main drawback of the classical syngas production technology is high energy consumption for the heat-releasing reaction of steam catalytic reforming, due to this the thermal efficiency of the facilities is not high. The significant drawbacks are: correction of the syngas chemical composition with lowering the hydrogen content for obtaining Н2/СО2, required for methanol synthesis; intense water consumption for securing the steam/gas ratio within 2–5, low process pressures that determine the necessity of syngas compression for methanol synthesis. These drawbacks are removed using the ART where at the syngas production the carbon dioxide conversion steam reforming is combined with partial oxidation. One of the world leaders of the ART implementation is Haldor Topsoe (Denmark), where basing on the production flow chart using the pre-reforming and independent ART reactor they optimized the thermal balances, secured regulation of the syngas volumetric composition, reduced the steam/gas ratio down to 0.6, decreased the syngas obtaining capital costs by 10%. Within the recent 15–20 years significant success in the perfection of the second-stage production technology - the methanol catalytic synthesis from syngas - has been reached. New improved catalytic agents were developed and implemented - Katalko-51-9 by Johnson Matthey, UK, C79-7GL by Zud-Chemie AG, Germany, МК-121 by Haldor Topsoe, Denmark, that cover utterly the whole world market [4,7,8, http://htr.spb.ru/lit ]. Modern tendencies of the methanol production technology development are mainly associated with the improvement of the syngas obtaining stage which takes up to 60% of the total capital costs, and the maximum integration of all intermediate production process stages to reduce the energy loss and residual payable raw material [4-7, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. However, the efficiency of new technologies depends on the scale effect and, to large extent, is realized at the capacities over 1 mln. tons of methanol per year [4,6,9, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. Apparently, the top limit of the technical and economic expediency of further production scaling including the raw material base, has been reached, as over a half of world reserves of crude hydrocarbons are located in medium- and small-scale deposits [9, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. For LTT methanol production we provide the maximum technology simplification, increased reliability and repairablity of the facilities, operation safety. Using air as an oxidizing agent, application of low-cost collapsible GSG structures by VTR LLC, production flow chart of the methanol synthesis facility with three sequential isothermic reactors without recycling [5,9,15, http://htr.spb.ru/lit]. Our major competitor in the LTT methanol production is the facility based on modified diesel engines (the technology by Energosintop [3,15, http:// htr.spb.ru/lit], RF patent No.2310642 A method of

methanol obtaining). The main drawbacks of such facilities are low repairability, corrosion of the diesel engine piston group, low (atmospheric) pressure

TECHNOLOGY

9. Describe the basic technology

The proposed technology is explained using the Annex to the Application. The methanol production facility consists of two complexes - hydrogen-containing gas (syngas) pre-treatment complex (slide 1 of the Annex), and methanol synthesis complex (slide 5). The syngas pre-treatment complex includes the following: petroleum gas (PG) feed unit; oxidizing agent feed unit; demineralized water feed unit; GSG (Syngas Generator); heat exchangers unit ТО1-ТО4 with waste heat boiler (WHB); syngas composition correction unit; separator; recycling water supply unit for GSG cooling; control system including flow-rate metering and regulating devices of mass PG, oxidizing agent and demineralized water flow. Functional flowchart of the complex is given on Slide 1 of the Annex. The main non-standard unit of the hydrogen-containing gas pre-treatment complex is GSG (Slide 2 of the Annex), which consists of ignition device, mixing head, combustion chamber, condensate injection unit, vaporization chamber. The technical characteristics of GSG are given in the Table (Slide 3 of the Annex). PG feed unit includes the mass flow controller (RKhM) R1, compressor K1, heat exchanger ТО2 and mixing device SM1 (desulfurization unit is not considered). PG with required mass flow and pressure via the pipeline goes to the heat exchanger TO2 where it is heated up to the design temperature by the hydrogen-containing gas that goes from the heat exchanger TO1 outlet; after that the heated PG goes to the mixing device SM1, where it gets mixed with water steam fed from the TO1 outlet. After SM1 the steam-gas mixture is fed to the mixing head (SG) of the gas generator. The oxidizing agent feed unit includes an air separation unit (not shown in the figure), RKhM of the oxidizing agent R2 and compressor K2. Heated oxidizing agent is fed to SG. Oxygen from the air can be used as the oxidizing agent for the technology simplification, in such case the air separation unit is not required. The demineralized water fed unit includes a pump N1 and RKhM R3 that secures controlled water feed to IK (water 1) with the pressure equalling the pressure of the components feed at the SG inlet. A part of the water flow from the pump N1 (water 2) is fed to the heat exchanger TO1 via RKhM R4, the gas from the IK GSG outlet also goes there. At the TO1 outlet water steam is formed which is fed to SM1. Inside the KS, heated flows of watered PG and oxidizing agent get mixed in the gas flow turbulent regime and partial mixing of crude hydrocarbons takes place with forming hydrogen-containing gas at the KS outlet containing carbon mono- and dioxide, hydrogen, water vapour, nitrogen, residual PG that has not been involved into reaction, traces of soot. When the process is started initial ignition of 2–5 vol.% gas mixture is performed in the ignition device. The main gas mixture flow is ignited with a jet of hot combustion products from the ignition device in the KS. The hydrogen-containing gas from the KS at the design temperature goes to IK into which demineralized water is injected through the controller R3 (the injection unit IU is shown in the flow chart) to have hydrogen-containing gas at the IK outlet with controlled design temperature at which long-term thermal resistance of construction materials is preserved. The hydrogen-containing gas goes from TO1 to the heat exchanger TO2 where PG is heated up to the design temperature. Then the hydrogen-containing gas goes from TO2 to WHB, while demineralized water is fed from the second WHB inlet from the autonomous pump N2 (water 3). At the WHB outlet water steam is formed used for industrial needs of the whole methanol production facility. Cooled hydrogen-containing gas at the design temperature goes from WHB to the desulfurization reactor. After that it goes to the H2/CO ratio correction unit which includes bifurcated pipeline after WHB and a mixing device SM2. One of the correction unit pipes is directly connected to SM2, the

11

TECHNOLOGY

other is connected to SM2 via a convertor STK loaded with iron-nickel or copper-zinc-alumocalcite catalyzing agent for carbon monoxide conversion operating in the moderate-temperature range of 300–500°C. Heat-releasing reaction of carbon monoxide steam conversion runs in the convertor, in the result the gas with increased hydrogen content is generated at the convertor outlet. The hydrogen-containing gas flows passing through both pipes are controlled using the controllable high-temperature throttle, UD, to guaranteed obtaining the designed H2/CO ratio after SM2. After leaving the SM2 the hydrogen-containing gas is fed to the heat exchanger - cooler of TO3, the gas temperature is controlled by RKhM R6 by changing the water mass consumption, 4, supplied to the TO3 second inlet. At the TO3 outlet water steam and cooled hydrogen-containing gas are formed, the gas goes to the separator, S, for the separation of gaseous and liquid phases. The recycling water supply unit secures demineralized water supply to SG, the KS and IK cooling jacket for cooling heat-loaded elements of GSG (in Slide 1 the flows are not indicated), as well as the heat exchanger - cooler, TO3, (water 4) for cooling the hydrogen-containing gas. After leaving the separator the dry hydrogen-containing gas goes to the heat exchanger, TO4, to be heated by the steam flow from the TO3 outlet. Heated dry hydrogen-containing gas goes to the pressure controller (RD) to secure the required pressure for the hydrogen-containing gas feeding to the methanol synthesis unit, as well as for the stabilization of operating pressure in the hydrogen-containing gas production complex. The H2/CO ratio is controlled over the data from gas analyzer, G, installed on the pipe with dry cooled hydrogen-containing gas. The Table in the Slide 4 of the Annex shows the balance ratio in the major units of the complex calculated for the LTT methanol production facility with the capacity of 5,000 tons per year the components feed pressure 6.0 MPa. The gas parameters requirements are mainly determined by the type of the catalyst agent used for the methanol synthesis. The main requirements are as follows: gas pressure at least 4.5 MPa at the methanol synthesis unit inlet, mole ratio of the syngas components Н2/СО=2.1–2.4 depending on the inert components content in the gas. As the data in the Table suggest (Slide 4 of the Annex), the results of preliminary calculations prove the possibility of obtaining hydrogen-containing gas with required parameters. The methanol synthesis complex (Slide 5) includes three sequentially connected isothermic reactors R1-R3 with heat pipes, which allows not using the syngas recycling and significantly simplifies the technology. The syngas with the set Н2/СО ratio, the temperature 210÷240°C and pressure ~5.0 MPa goes from the syngas pre-treatment complex to the reactor R1. The isothermic properties of the catalyst agent layer are maintained by the coolant circulation (chemically purified water) via heat pipes located inside the reactor. The heat generated due to the heat-releasing methanol synthesis reaction is removed in the cooler Kh1. Similarly heat is removed in the reactors R2, R3 by using the coolers Kh2, Kh3. The coolant circulation is maintained by circulation pumps, N1-N3. A tie-in of chemically purified water (not shown in the flow chart) is made for filling the cooling system with coolant. The temperature i all three reactors is maintained at the level of 210÷240°C. The gas mixture from the reactors R1-R3 outlets containing carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen and methanol vapour goes to the coolers Kh4-Kh6, and gets cooled by the condensate from the cooler Kh7. The water condensate formed in Kh4-Kh6 goes to the condensate collector, and after it is fed to the cooler Kh7 by circulation pump. Liquefied methanol goes from Kh4-Kh6 to separators S1-S3, where is it separated from the gas mixture and then foes to the methanol downtank. The gas mixture separated in the reactor R1 then goes to the heat exchanger TO1, and after leaving the reactor R2 goes to the heat exchanger TO2, where gets heated by steam up to 210÷240°C. The

12

TECHNOLOGY

steam used in the heat exchangers TO1 and TO2 as heat carrier goes from the syngas pre-treatment complex, while the condensate formed in the heat exchangers returns to the water cycle of the complex (not shown in the flow chart). The gas mixture leaving the separator S3 at the pressure of ~4.5 MPa goes to the cooler Kh7, where it gets cooled. Then cold exhaust gas goes to the purification system and then is released in the atmosphere. Simultaneously, in the cooler Kh7 all water condensate is cooled which then goes to the coolers Kh4-Kh6. Theoretical calculations and experimental study [16 http://htr.spb.ru/ lit] prove that the syngas conversion degree (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) in the proposed flow chart is at least 70% even in the conditions of intense nitrogen ballasting of the hydrogen-containing gas fed to the methanol synthesis complex. This allows using the air as an oxidizing agent, exclusion of air separation unit and significant technology simplification.

MARKET PARAMETERS

14. Specify the markets, where the project can be potentially implemented (list the countries, regions, specify the main consumers, evaluate the market, its dynamics, your future position thereon)

In what concerns crude hydrocarbons deep conversion into methanol and other products, Russia is at the risk of falling behind many countries, if proper large-scale projects are not implemented within the near 2–4 years. However, due to low domestic demand, the majority of them are aimed for export. The main consumers are Nizhnekamskneftekhim with the 53% share within Sibur Holding - 14%, Omsky Kautchuk OJSC - 11%. At present, Russia covers its own methanol demand without importing it. The domestic market is no so well developed, methanol is mainly consumed at the petrochemical and gas processing enterprises. Methanol is mainly used for formaldehyde production. Another prospective direction is the methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) production with the consumption volume up to 416 thousand tons. The next segment, in terms of the consumption volume, is the oil-and-gas industry - 14% (300.5 thousand in 2013). The methanol consumption prediction in this segment directly depends on the natural gas production volumes and on the gas condensate fields. According to the RF Ministry of Energy, the gas production growth is expected in the long-term period, which will lead to the increase of the methanol demand in this segment by over 25% by 2025. According to experts, due to the crisis in 2014–2015 and abrupt growth of currency exchange rates the situation on the methanol market in Russia makes a mixed picture; producers do their best to distance themselves from small-scale buyers and organize their product distribution among strategic buyers with stable demand. Due to this it is hard to buy relatively small lots of methanol. Also in view of the change of the currency exchange rates the methanol export became very profitable again.
