Been attending conferences around the globe and the single common factor that is inhibiting the growth of transition to Green Hydrogen is cost comparison with an SMR process. Obviously the cost of RE ( RTC) , Electrolyzers , BOP are some of major factors, but lets not underestimate the power of process optimization , efficiency & yield. Even an SMR process is as cost effective as the yield from it, so lets try to optimize what can be done immediately. The other parts will be taken care off over a period of time as market matures. Optimizing Green Ammonia Production for Profits Green Ammonia manufacturers in order to improve process efficiency and reduce costs, have adopted closed loop control strategies. In the past few years, efficient process control has become even more important as the cost of raw materials have increased and the product price has decreased. Green Ammonia producers must take advantage of every available opportunity to improve their process. The key to a successful closed loop control strategy is the analyzers used to supply the Distributed Control System (DCS) with information. The analyzers must be fast, reliable, accurate, precise and rugged. Mass Spectrometer with its quick, precise analysis prowess and ability to handle up to 64 streams can help you manage the variables to your advantage: - · Monitor the purity of H2 produced via electrolysis of H2O and N2 via PSA. Even the trace contaminants hamper the reaction and catalysts. · Production efficiency is increased by controlling the feed to air (H2:N2) ratio at the Synthesis Converter Inlet to within ± 0.05% which is a precision of 0.0015 on a ratio of 3:1. · Efficiency can also be improved by maintaining constant converter feed ratios through control of the process inert gases https://lnkd.in/gWnegC2m Below link is a simulation of (H2:N2) ratio control effect on Ammonia production https://lnkd.in/gcvn6CRb #greenhydrogen #greenammonia #hydrogenderivatives #electrolysis #electrolyzer #BOP #decarbonization #fertilizer #fuel

Gas sweetening using amines is a process designed to remove acidic gases, primarily hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), from natural gas. This is achieved through chemical reactions in an absorber unit, where a solution of alkanolamines, such as MEA, DEA, or MDEA, absorbs these gases. The resultant "rich" amine solution is then regenerated in a separate unit to produce a "lean" amine for reuse. This method is efficient and cost-effective, helping to meet pipeline specifications and reducing corrosion risks. The most common types of amines used in gas sweetening are: Monoethanolamine (MEA): A primary amine, known for its cost-effectiveness and ability to absorb both H₂S and CO₂. Diethanolamine (DEA): A secondary amine, recognized for its efficiency in removing acid gases, particularly H₂S. Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA): A tertiary amine, preferred for selective removal of H₂S over CO₂, although it is more expensive. These amines are widely utilized due to their effectiveness in reducing sour gas content in natural gas streams. Gas sweetening using mixed amines involves combining different types of amines to enhance the absorption of acidic gases like hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Common mixtures include: MDEA with MEA or DEA: This combination improves CO₂ absorption rates while maintaining effective H₂S removal. MDEA with DGA: This blend offers enhanced absorption capacity and reduced energy requirements for solvent regeneration. Using mixed amines can lead to significant operational cost savings and improved efficiency in gas treatment processes, making it a preferred choice in many gas processing plants.

#Methanol production process: 1. Syngas Preparation #Syngas (synthesis gas) is a mixture of #Hydrogen (H₂), #CarbonMonoxide (CO), and #CarbonDioxide (CO₂). It is primarily produced through steam-methane reforming (SMR), where natural gas (mainly #Methane, CH₄) reacts with steam under high temperatures (700-1,000°C) and pressures in the presence of a catalyst¹. The reaction can be summarized as: CH₄ + H₂O → CO + 3H₂ 2. Methanol Synthesis The syngas is then fed into a methanol synthesis reactor containing a copper-based catalyst. Under high pressure (50-100 bar) and moderate temperatures (200-300°C), the syngas undergoes catalytic reactions to form methanol and water vapor: CO + 2H₂ → CH₃OH CO₂ + 3H₂ → CH₃OH + H₂O 3. Methanol Purification The crude methanol mixture from the reactor contains water and other impurities. It undergoes distillation to separate methanol from water and other by-products, resulting in high-purity methanol. Applications of Methanol Methanol is a versatile chemical used in various industries: - Fuel: As a clean-burning fuel and fuel additive. - Chemicals: As a feedstock for producing formaldehyde, acetic acid, and other chemicals. - Energy: In fuel cells for electricity generation.

Biogas is a mixture of methane, CO2 and small quantities of other gases such as HF and Ammonia produced by a process called anaerobic digestion, this is where organic matter such as animal and food waste, is broken down in an oxygen free environment. This creates a mixture of biogas, primarily methane and carbon dioxide, which can be used as a source of energy.   However, other gases are also formed in anaerobic digestion that effect the purity of the methane and CO2. Scrubbers and filters can be used to clean the gases but checks still need to take place to ensure they are as pure as possible. The GT6000 Mobilis, the only portable heated multi-gas analyser to receive MCERTS QAL1 EN115267-4 accreditation, can be used to check for the levels of impurities. Heated up to 180 degrees it can measure 50 gases at any one time and can detect NOx, SOx and CO amongst other infrared gases from low PPM to high percentage range in real time.   For more information follow the link below: https://lnkd.in/eunGSeDd #biogas #biomethane #sustainability #bioeconomy #bioenergy #biofuels

TYPES OF AMINE. Gas sweetening using amines is a process designed to remove acidic gases, primarily hydrogen sulfide (HS) and carbon dioxide (COz), from natural gas.

CLEAN FUELS ⛽: Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) and NGK INSULATORS Ltd are to jointly develop two membrane dehydration systems for bioethanol and e-methanol to meet expected demand growth for clean fuels and raw materials. The membrane separation system developed for bioethanol will replace the conventional dehydration process, which consumes the most energy in the bioethanol manufacturing process. This replacement is expected to achieve a significant reduction in energy required to produce bioethanol. The second system will replace the dehydration process in the production of e-methanol, which utilizes hydrogen and CO2 as raw materials. By using a membrane separation system instead, the companies expect to significantly reduce energy consumption used in the manufacture of e-methanol, which is capturing attention as a next-generation clean fuel. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/enecuuFB #membraneseparation #membranes #cleanfuels #bioethanol #emethanol

Hydromics is a patent pending, proven concept that produces hydrogen without the need of electrolysis. It currently produces hydroxy on demand at a very low cost. It is known to be “safer to produce and use, than to store and use". It has taken 10 years to develop a system that allows us to take a pure water source, send it through a vigorous path of harmonics to separate hydrogen and oxygen into a ratio of needed fuel consumption to power a motor or an engine. We here at “Power and Concepts” have recognized the need for hydrogen, and that need is now. We are currently measuring our production in the form of gas produced at a (VLPM) value of liters per minute, due to the process of hydromics being the first hydrogen source without the need of electrolysis. One HPOD unit is currently producing hydroxy 66/33 (H2/O2) gas on demand at 20 LPM ($.0025L). www.hydromics.com
