Comparative Analysis of Operation of Methanation Process in Ethylene Plant
A small amount of CO is removed from crude hydrogen by methanation of both ethylene units in a company.The difference is that high and low temperature technical route of methanation is used respectively.This paper focuses on the overview and comparison of the operation of the two process routes.The comparison shows that the operation indicators of both processes are running well,but using low temperature methanation process contributes lower energy consumption and smoother and safer operation of the unit.
