Syngas Production Using Catalytic Carbon Dioxide Dry Reforming

该项目旨在为将偏远的低价值澳大利亚资源和温室气体转化为有价值的产品铺平道路。澳大利亚的大部分天然气储量位于偏远的西北大陆架，其中许多储量规模较小，因此无法使用管道运输或天然气液化等传统方法进行经济利用。本项目将设计一种新型催化剂的干式重整反应器，用于将天然气和二氧化碳转化为合成气，这是气液装置的中间步骤。通过创新地整合先进的催化和加热技术，反应堆的重量和运行成本将降至最低。

This project intends to pave the way for turning remote low-value Australian resources and greenhouse gases into valuable products. Most of Australian natural gas reserves are located in the remote north-west shelf, and many are small scale and thus cannot be economically harnessed using conventional methods such as pipeline transportation or gas liquefaction. In this project, a dry reforming reactor with novel catalysts will be designed for converting natural gas and carbon dioxide to syngas, which is an intermediate step of gas-to-liquid plant. By innovatively integrating advanced catalysis and heating technologies, reactor weight and operational costs will be minimised.
