Operating A Safe And Reliable Methanol Cracking Hydrogen Production Unit
WOBO's methanol cracking hydrogen production unit efficiently decomposes methanol at low temperatures. The decomposition atmosphere of the unit provides both a protective atmosphere for metal heat treatment and a reducing atmosphere for metal reduction. It can be used as a standalone protective atmosphere, carburizing atmosphere, or in combination with nitrogen as a carrier gas. This unit is suitable for bright heat treatment in metallurgy, machinery, chains, standard parts, fasteners, and small hardware industries. It is also used in the energy-saving and environmentally friendly transformation of boilers and kilns.
Our company's methanol cracking hydrogen production unit offers several advantages, including cost savings in investment, low operating temperatures, no pollution, and low production costs. It has widely replaced traditional ammonia decomposition furnaces for hydrogen production and high-temperature direct methanol decomposition processes. It is also utilized in the energy-saving and environmentally friendly transformation of dry boilers, kilns, and hot blast stoves.

The Basic Principle Of Methanol Cracking Hydrogen Production Machine
Methanol hydrogen production involves mixing methanol and water in a specific ratio and subjecting the mixture to superheated steam under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, with the presence of a catalyst. This process leads to simultaneous catalytic cracking and carbon monoxide shift reactions, resulting in the formation of a mixed gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The produced gas is then passed through a pressure swing adsorption unit for separation and purification, yielding high-purity hydrogen as the final product.
The main reactions involved in methanol hydrogen production are as follows: Methanol (CH3OH) undergoes catalytic cracking, converting it into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) while releasing energy. Additionally, carbon monoxide reacts with water (H2O) through the carbon monoxide shift reaction, resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and more hydrogen gas.
The overall reaction combines these processes, transforming methanol and water into carbon dioxide and three molecules of hydrogen gas, with the release of energy. Through the separation and purification processes, the final product obtained is highly pure hydrogen gas.
