Abstract:
This paper outlines the primary process flow of the shift unit and the structure of the shift converter. It proposes a simplified method for calculating the equilibrium temperature difference of the shift converter by determining the composition of each component at the reactor inlet using online analysis data from the gasifier, and by calculating the shift conversion rate based on the low-temperature methanol wash inlet gas volume, chromatographic analysis values, shift feed flow rate, and gasifier discharge gas flow rate. This ultimately results the shift reaction equilibrium constant. Catalyst activity can be accurately assessed by analyzing the gas distribution within the reformer and equilibrium temperature difference. Furthermore, a method for determining the catalyst activity phase is proposed based on the temperature distribution points on the converter beds and the temperature rise across each layer. Results indicate that these two approaches enable more precise evaluation of the catalyst's operational activity. The service life of shift catalysts can be extended by periodically calculating equilibrium temperature difference, analyzing bed temperature distribution, and adjusting operating conditions.
