Abstract

Biogas Power Plant (PLT) from palm oil mill effluent had been commissioned by a team from the Center of Technology for the Energy Resources and Chemical Industry, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (PTSEIK-BPPT). The biogas power plant is located in PTPN V Kampar, Riau Province. A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has been implemented to support the operation of biogas power plant. Proper sensor selection has been done for each measurement applications. A computer and mimic panel is used as an interface for the operation of PLC. The master control system communicates with the slave control systems and Human Machine Interface (HMI) by means of ethernet communication protocol. Commissioning phase is carried out for 2 hours with a load of 450 kW. Instrumentation and control system is able to measure important variables such as fluctuation in methane numbers, pressures, and biogas flow rate to check the suitability of biogas supply in accordance to gas engine specification.

Abstract

Catalyst activation is an important step in methanol synthesis process, achieved by the reduction of CuO precursor producing Cu0 active sites.  Testplant’s temperature operation shall be maintainted at 220°C in order to maximize the CuO reduction process in the catalyst activation step. A temperature control system shall be applied in methanol testplant to maintain the temperature during reduction process, due to sensitivity of reduction process to temperature variation and possibility of disturbance such as change in gas flow rate which could affects the operating temperature. Temperature control systems are tested by using step response at the desired setpoint, which is 220°C at pre-heater and reactor and 60°C at sampling line. The tests are conducted by changing the setpoint value at temperature controller and previously stable flow gas in the system (disturbance rejection). The temperature control system proved to be able to response well during the test. In the end, methanol is produced from syngas, indicating catalyst activation success.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of steam-to-CO molar ratio and temperature on hydrogen production in a water gas shift reaction using a Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 catalyst. Herein, different steam-to-CO molar ratios (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) and temperatures (200 °C, 250 °C, and 300 °C) were applied to investigate their impact on the reaction and H2 production. The Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 catalyst was characterized by its surface area, pore size distribution, and chemical composition. Moreover, the experimental setup enabled the control of temperature and steam-to-CO molar ratio while monitoring the product gas composition. The results revealed a considerable influence of temperature and steam-to-CO molar ratio on CO conversion efficiency. Notably, the majority of the experiment variations exhibited CO conversion exceeding 90% within 1 min throughout the reaction. Additionally, the highest H2 composition of 53.10% was reached at 250 °C with the steam-to-CO molar ratio of 3:1.

Abstract

Hydrogen is a promising renewable energy carrier and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Water-gas-shift reaction (WGSR) is commonly used to generate hydrogen from renewable biomass feedstocks. Enriching hydrogen content in synthesis gas (syngas) production can be made possible by applying the WGSR after gasification. WGSR can achieve a maximal carbon monoxide (CO) conversion using a commercially patented CZA (Cu/ZnO/Al2O3) catalyst. This study proposed three in-lab self-synthesized CZA catalysts to be evaluated and compared with the patented catalyst performance-wise. The three catalysts were prepared with co-precipitation of different Cu:Zn:Al molar ratios: CZA-431 (4:3:1), CZA-531 (5:3:1) and CZA-631 (6:3:1). The catalysts characteristics were determined through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. CO gas was mixed with steam in a catalytic reactor with a 3:1 molar ratio, running continuously through the catalyst at 250 °C for 30 mins. All three catalysts, however, performed below expectations, where CZA-431 had a CO conversion of 77.44%, CZA-531 48.75%, and CZA-631 71.67%. CaO, as a co-catalyst, improved the performance by stabilizing the gas composition faster. The CO conversion of each catalyst also improved: CZA-431 improved its CO conversion to 97.39%, CZA-531 to 96.71%, and CZA-631 to 95.41%. The downward trend of the CO conversion was deemed to be caused by copper content found in CZA-531 and CZA-631 but not in CZA-431, which tended to form a Cu-Zn metal complex, weakening the catalyst's activity.
