Sinochem's self-developed coal-to-natural gas catalyst realizes domestic replacement of the whole furnace

On July 28, the coal-to-natural gas catalyst provided by the Southwest Research Institute, a subsidiary of Sinochem, was successfully started up in the coal-to-synthetic natural gas plant of Kingho Energy Group
.
This marks the first time that China has realized the replacement of the entire coal-based synthetic natural gas catalyst in China, breaking the monopoly of foreign countries, and has a milestone significance in the coal chemical industry
.

Coal-to-natural gas projects can use low-quality coal to produce high-quality clean resources, which is an effective supplement to natural gas resources and is of great significance to ensuring national energy security
.
Catalyst is the most core component and important carrier of coal-to-gas, and it is very important to improve the chemical reaction rate
.
At present, the coal-to-natural gas projects in commercial operation are designed with foreign process packages, and the catalysts are imported products.
In response to the high requirements for catalysts in the coal-to-natural gas process, Southwest Research Institute successfully realized two key catalysts for coal-to-natural gas, CNGC-2 and CNJ- 8.
At the same time, the whole furnace can be replaced by domestic products, and has the characteristics of good thermal stability, low side reactions, long service life, strong anti-carbon deposition ability, low activation temperature, etc.
, which can greatly reduce the start-up time and save production costs
