Background and motivation China has abundant resources of coke gas,
but considerable amount is not used, leading to air pollution and energy waste.
Coke oven gas and coal derived syngashave supplementary characteristics in composition Coal derived syngas (CG) is rich in CO Coke oven gas (COG) is rich in H2 and
CH4
Water gas shift can be saved by adjusting the combination of CG and COG
Potential to use both CG and COG in polygeneration system: “dual-gas source”

Key process (2)High temperature catalytic CH4-CO2 reformer
Direct reforming
Steam reforming
CH4 partially oxidization
CH4 + CO2 = 2CO + 2H2 (∆Ho = 247 kJ/mol)
H2 + CO2 = H2O + CO (∆Ho = 35 kJ/mol)
CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2 (∆Ho = 206 kJ/mol)
CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 (∆Ho = -41 kJ/mol)
CH4 + CO2 = 2CO + 2H2 (∆Ho = 247 kJ/mol)
CH4 + 0.5O2 = CO + 2H2 (∆Ho = -35.5 kJ/mol)
CH4 + CO2 = 2CO + 2H2 (∆Ho = 247 kJ/mol)
Strong endothermic process
Less strong endothermic process; steam is required
Moderate endothermic process, economy of stem use
Objective Identify proper ratio of coal gas,
coke oven gas, oxygen for a specified product gas with suitable H2/CO ratio
Challenge Detailed kinetic mechanism not
well known

Key process (2)Modelling of the catalytic CH4-CO2 reformer Approach
3 possible pathways comparison Thermodynamic equilibrium assumption
Findings Similar results for pathway 1 & 3 CH4 content is mainly determined by O2 flow,
H2/carbon ratio by coke gas flow
Controllable variables Coke gas mass flow Oxygen mass flow

Conclusion and comments Merits of duel-gas sourced polygeneration
Improved efficiency without WGS, lower CO2 emission Utilization of coke oven gas
Consideration for the CH4-CO2 reformer CG/COG ratio determines the H2/carbon ratio of the outlet gas. Oxygen mass flow determines the CH4 content in the outlet gas
Findings through system simulation Coal gas split ratio shapes the product portfolio (electricity /methanol) and feedstock
portfolio (coke oven gas/coal gas) There’s an optimized coal gas split ratio corresponding to highest thermal efficiency The chemical process is relatively efficient process with much less exergy destruction
compared to the power generation process and gasification process.
Challengeable factors Despite of all the advantages regarding efficiency, resource utilization, CO2 emission
reduction potential, the economic performance is to be examined.
