Abundant and widely distributed resources as well as a relative low price level make natural gas the predominant feedstock for methanol production. Indirect synthesis routes via reforming of methane suppress production from bio resources and other renewable alternatives. However, the conventional technology for the conversion of natural gas to methanol is energy intensive and costly in investment and operation. Three design cases with different reforming technologies in conjunction with an isothermal methanol reactor are investigated. Case I is equipped with steam methane reforming for a capacity of 2200 metric tons per day (MTPD). For a higher production capacity, a serial combination of steam reforming and autothermal reforming is used in Case II, while Case III deals with a parallel configuration of CO2 and steam reforming. A sensitivity analysis shows that the syngas composition significantly affects the thermodynamic performance of the plant. The design cases have exergetic efficiencies of 28.2%, 55.6% and 41.0%, respectively.

The growing importance and volumes of liquefied natural gas for transportation over long distances come as a consequence of this tendency. The liquefaction of natural gas requires a high amount of energy that can be recovered during the re-gasification phase. In this paper, a novel approach for this purpose is presented, where the main feature is the use of a combination of Rankine and Brayton cycles while retaining natural gas as the only working fluid of the system. The proposed system is optimized for cost and exergy efficiency using a bi-level multi-objective optimization procedur e, where the master level is setup as a nonlinear optimization problem and solved using an evolutionary algorithm , while the slave level as a mixed integer-linear programming problem.

If V1 and P1 are the initial volume and pressure, and V2 and P2 are the final volumes and pressure, then V1 x P1 = V2 x P2 Charles' Law – the volume of a given mass of gas at constant pressure increases by 1/273 of its volume for every 1°C rise in temperature. The relationship between volume and temperature is: V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and absolute temperature and V2 and T2 are the final volume and absolute temperature (the Kelvin temperature, not the Celsius temperature).

With energy demand forecast to increase by 30% between today and 2030 and with society committed to transitioning to a low carbon future, natural gas is fundamental to meeting the challenge of significantly increased global energy without worsening air quality conditions. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is simply natural gas that has been refrigerated to its liquid form so that it can be economically stored and transported. Traditionally it would be produced and distributed on a massive scale but Chart is a key player in the development of small-scale models that are revolutionizing its usage and bringing power to off-grid locations, providing back-up power for peak shaving and supply curtailment events and fueling road, marine and even rail transportation. It’s an exciting and transient landscape where decisions in different parts of the value chain are highly interdependent. Therefore, it’s important to select a project partner that under- stands this. From the earliest feasibility study right through to after-sales service and mainte- nance packages, Chart will accompany you through the entire project lifecycle. By choosing Chart you gain a reliable and trustworthy ally, with a proven, solution driven track record.
