CFD Simulation of sorption enhanced steam methane reforming in bubbling fluidized bed reactor
Abstract:
Steam methane reforming, SMR is one of the most significant chemical reaction in petrochemical industry. In this reactor, methane and steam are converted to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The hydrogen is used as precursor in many production processes. Additionally, the hydrogen is also nowadays known as an interesting type of alternative energy such as clean fuel for electrical vehicle. Previous researches suggested that the adsorption of CO2, could increase the hydrogen production. The employed solid particles are then bi-functional catalyst such as dolomite or calcium oxide. The first function is used as catalyst and another function is used to adsorb CO2. The mentioned process is called sorption enhanced steam methane reforming, SE-SMR. In this study, the bubbling fluidized bed reactor was simulated using computational fluid dynamics to explore the effect of operating parameters, system temperature and inlet gas velocity, on the mole fraction of product. Here, the optimized operating parameters were observed at 923 K system temperature and 0.10 m/s inlet gas velocity which obtained hydrogen mole fraction of 0.99. The results from this study can be used as a guideline to operate the conventional SE-SMR reactor and to design the new reactor
