| description | The production of liquid fuels from natural gas is gaining attention worldwide. In the plant, one of the unit operation used is autothermal reforming (ATR) reactor which serves to convert natural gas (methane) to syngas that consist of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This unit operations need to be studied before its implementation in real industry. In this work, REQUIL model in ASPEN Plus V10 was used to simulate
an autothermal reforming (ATR) reactor. The simulated results obtained were first compared with the simulation data from literature. The simulated results obtained by ASPEN Plus showed that it is acceptable since the simulation values corroborated the literature with errors range of 0.72% to 9.45%. Sensitivity analysis on the REQUIL ATR model showed that reactor temperature (800 K to 1300 K), reactor pressure (20
bar to 50 bar), feed steam molar flowrate (200 kmol/hr to 3000 kmol/hr) and feed oxygen molar flowrate (500 kmol/hr to 3000 kmol/hr) have significant effects on the conversion of methane and syngas ratio. The methane conversion was increases when
the reactor temperature, feed steam molar flowrate and feed oxygen molar flowrate were increase. While, it was decreases when the reactor pressure was increase. The syngas ratio was decrease when increasing the reactor temperature, reactor pressure, feed steam molar flowrate and it was decreases when increasing the feed oxygen molar flowrate. |
