A METHANATION REACTOR FOR REACTING HYDROGEN WITH AT LEAST ONE CARBON-BASED COMPOUND AND PRODUCING METHANE AND WATER

摘要

The methanation reactor (10) for reacting dihydrogen with at least one carbon-based compound and producing methane, which comprises: - a hollow body (105) configured to receive a bed of catalytic particles (106) and having a entry (110) of each carbon-based compound and dihydrogen, - an outlet (115) of methane and water. The reactor further comprises a phase-cooling water injection inlet (120). liquid in the hollow body. In embodiments, each carbon-based compound is a gas, the reactor having at least one water injection nozzle and at least one gas injection nozzle comprising the carbon-based gas and the dihydrogen, at least one water injection nozzle being positioned below at least one gas injection nozzle. In embodiments, the flow rate of water introduced into the hollow body is a function of the temperature measured in the reactor.
