Process Flow

Process Principle of This System:

The basic principle of the equipment process is to use methanol vapor to react with water vapor under the action of catalyst at high temperature to generate crude hydrogen, enter the purifier for purification to obtain high-purity hydrogen, and then use the downstream fuel cell system to power the power unit, or store it in the battery-based energy storage system for standby use.

he methanol water reforming reaction is a multi-component, multi-reaction gas-solid catalytic complex reaction system. Specific chemical reactions may include:

The entire process is as follows: First, the desalted water and methanol are mixed according to the set ratio, and then injected into the reforming hydrogen purification system through a high-pressure infusion pump. After the mixed liquid is rapidly vaporized in the vaporizer, it enters the catalyst bed (400-500 °C) to undergo a methanol steam reforming reaction. The single-pass conversion rate of methanol is usually above 95%, mainly generating 75% H2, 24% CO2 and less than 3% of impurity gases such as CO and CH4, which is crude hydrogen. This crude hydrogen can directly enter the dense metal membrane purifier, which can purify the crude hydrogen into hydrogen with a purity close to 5N, which meets the requirements of proton exchange membrane fuel cells for hydrogen in ISO 14687-2019 and GBT37244-2018 standards. The purified hydrogen can be directly used in the hydrogen unit after the fuel cell generates electricity, and the chemical energy of hydrogen is converted into electrical energy through the fuel cell. The generated electrical energy can be used for external power supply or stored for standby through a lithium battery-based energy storage system. The process flow is shown in the figure below:
