초록

본 연구에서는 다양한 수소 생산 방법 중 하나인 천연가스 수증기 개질반응(natural gas steam reforming reaction)에 대해 일반적인 충전층반응기와 반응기와 수소분리기가 결합된 새로운 형태의 분리막 반응기에서의 성능에 대한 비교분석을 수행하였다. Xu 와 Froment에 의해 기존에 발표된 실험결과를 바탕으로 상업용 화학공정모사기인 Aspen $HYSYS^{(R)}$ 모델이 개발되었으며, 반응온도, $H_2$ 투과량, Ar 유량 등이 분리막 반응기에서의 반응물의 전환율 및 $H_2$ 수율 향상도에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석한 결과 분리막 반응기에서 보다 많은 양의 수소수율 및 메탄전환율이 확인되었다. 더 나아가, 전체 시스템에서 필요로 하는 열량을 공급하기 위해 요구되는 천연가스의 양에 초점을 맞춰 분리막 반응기에서의 원가절감 가능성을 평가한 결과, 분리막 반응기에서 10.94%의 원가절감이 관찰되었다.

For a natural gas steam reforming, comparative studies of the performance in a conventional packed-bed reactor and a membrane reactor, a new conceptual reactor consisting of a reactor with series of hydrogen separation membranes, have been performed. Based on experimental kinetics reported by Xu and Froment, a process simulation model was developed with Aspen $HYSYS^{(R)}$, a commercial process simulator, and effects of various operating conditions like temperature, $H_2$ permeance, and Ar sweep gas flow rate on the performance in a membrane reactor were investigated in terms of reactant conversion and $H_2$ yield enhancement showing improved $H_2$ yield and methane conversion in a membrane reactor. In addition, a preliminary cost estimation focusing on natural gas consumption to supply heat required for the system was carried out and feasibility of possible cost savings in a membrane reactor was assessed with a cost saving of 10.94% in a membrane reactor.
