全球最大ATR甲醇装置成功投产

中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工网站1月14日消息 最近，托普索（Topsoe）宣布在土库曼斯坦正式启动全球唯一的天然气-汽油联合工厂，该工厂包括全球最大的基于自热重整（ATR）的甲醇工厂，采用了托普索的SynCOR Methanol™解决方案，甲醇产能为5225公吨/天。

土库曼斯坦的Haldor Topsoe TIGAS™工厂是世界上最大的基于自热重整的甲醇工厂。

在土库曼斯坦的天然气-汽油联合装置中，SynCOR Methanol™溶液与汽油合成回路相结合，生产合成汽油，被称为SynCOR TIGAS™。

在过去两年中，托普索已经签署了五份基于SynCOR™技术的类似产能的许可协议，这些项目正处于不同的发展阶段。

全球对甲醇的需求正在增加，因此投资者和生产商计划建造能效更高的大型工厂，以实现规模经济。这使得SynCOR™成为当今世界许多大型项目中合成气生产的首选技术，因为它最大化了单线产能，同时显著降低了资本和运营成本。

当与托普索甲醇合成回路相结合时，产生的结果是SynCOR Methanol™，这是当今工业运行中最具成本效益的大规模甲醇技术，甲醇产能可达10000吨/天。

除了SynCOR™技术明显的经济效益外，它还具有相当大的环境优势，与传统的许可技术相比，它的二氧化碳排放量更小、耗水量更低。

基于在合成气领域70年的经验，所有SynCOR™解决方案都提供超过99%的可用性和无与伦比的规模经济性。SynCOR™解决方案适用于大型基层氨、甲醇、氢气、一氧化碳、TIGAS™和气-液（GTL）工厂，以及生产多种产品的合成气中心。

World’s largest ATR-based methanol plant has been put into successful operation

Recently, Topsoe announced the official opening of the world’s only natural gas-to-gasoline complex in Turkmenistan. The complex includes the world’s largest methanol plant based on autothermal reforming (ATR), using Topsoe’s SynCOR Methanol™ solution, with methanol production capacity of 5225 MTPD.

The Haldor Topsoe TIGAS™ plant in Turkmenistan is also the world's largest methanol plant based on autothermal reforming.

In the Turkmen gas-to-gasoline complex, the SynCOR Methanol™ solution has been combined with a gasoline synthesis loop to produce synthetic gasoline. This concept is named SynCOR TIGAS™.

Over the last two years Topsoe has signed five license agreements of similar capacity based on the SynCOR™ technology. These projects are in various stages of development.

Global demand for methanol is increasing. Accordingly, investors and producers plan for larger plants with improved energy efficiency to achieve economy of scale. This has made SynCOR™ the preferred technology for production of synthesis gas in many of today’s world-scale projects because it maximizes single-line capacity, while significantly reducing capital as well as operating costs.

When combined with a Topsoe methanol synthesis loop, the result is SynCOR Methanol™, the most cost-efficient large-scale methanol technology in industrial operation today. Capacities can be up to 10,000 tons per day of methanol.

Apart from the obvious financial benefits of the SynCOR™ technology, it also offers considerable environmental advantages, leaving a smaller CO2 footprint and lower water consumption compared to traditional licensed technologies.

Based on 70 years of experience within synthesis gas, all SynCOR™ solutions offer more than 99% availability and unsurpassed economy of scale. SynCOR™ solutions are suitable for large-scale grassroots ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, CO, TIGAS™, and gas-to-liquid (GTL) plants, as well as syngas hubs producing multiple products.
