Embodiment 1

[0050] according to figure 1 The process shown is for electrolysis of water for hydrogen production and carbon dioxide methanation.

[0051] After the electricity from abandoned light, abandoned wind, abandoned water and / or nuclear power is connected to the water electrolysis hydrogen production device, the generated hydrogen enters the hydrogen storage tank for storage, the purity is >99% and the total sulfur is less than 0.1ppm.

[0052] The hydrogen flow at the outlet of the hydrogen storage tank is 40000kmol / h, and the pressure is 0.1Mpa; the pressure after being pressurized by the hydrogen booster device 3 is 3.0MPa; the pressurized hydrogen is heated to 280°C.

[0053] The above hydrogen is divided into 3 strands according to the volume ratio of 0.33:0.23:0.44, and the first strand enters the gas mixer 4 to be mixed with carbon dioxide.

[0054] The carbon dioxide pressure is 3.0MPa, 10000kmol / h, the purity is >99% and the total sulfur is less than 0.1ppm.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for utilizing electricity to gas (ETG). The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing hydrogen by using water electrolyzed by surplus electricity, and collecting the produced oxygen as a by-product; (2) increasing the pressure of the hydrogen to 0.5-5MPa, and then heating up to 220-350 DEG C; (3) enabling the heated hydrogen to be divided into two parts, inputting one part of hydrogen into a gas mixer, and inputting the other part of hydrogen into a methanation reaction zone; (4) inputting carbon dioxide into the gas mixer to enabled the carbon dioxide to be mixed with the hydrogen; (5) arranging at least four methanation reactors which are connected in series and / or in parallel in the methanation reaction zone, and collecting natural gas at an outlet of the last methanation reactor, wherein the surplus electricity comes from the abandoned light, wind, water and / or nuclear power. According to the method, the reactant is taken as a diluent of the raw material gas, so that the situation that the product gas is needed to be introduced into the raw material gas for diluting the reactant concentration by a recycle compressor in the traditional methanation technology can be avoided; therefore, the compressor is omitted, and the power consumption of mechanical equipment is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for replacing natural gas (ETG, ElectricityToGas) with excess electricity, belonging to the field of methanation. Background technique [0002] As the world's largest electricity producer, China is facing the problem of a relative surplus of electricity due to its steady economic growth. The main reason for the relative surplus of electricity is the slowdown in economic development and the decline in social demand for electricity, which is caused by China's economy entering the new normal. The relative surplus of electricity has brought about serious abandonment of wind, light and water. my country has become the country with the largest scale of wind power and the fastest growing photovoltaic power generation in the world. However, the phenomenon of new energy curtailment is increasing day by day, and a large amount of clean energy is wasted. [0003] At the same time, the "peak-to-valley difference" of my country'...
