This process produces high-calorie synthetic natural gas (SNG) from dimethylether (DME). In particular, it is expected that the adoption of this type of process will be of particular benefit to medium-sized suppliers of town gas, as a means of coping with future increases in gas demand. |

Features |
|
|
|
|
- As plants of this type require no desulfurization unit, lower plant construction costs are possible in comparison with conventional processes using naphtha or LPG feedstock.
- The effectiveness of the JGC-developed high-performance MRG catalyst adopted for the process has been proven in extensive commercial use.
- Energy-saving through operation at a low steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C ratio)
- SNG production cost is kept stable due to the use of DME feedstock, which is not easily subject to the price fluctuations frequently seen in the case of LPG feedstock.

Applications |
|
|
|
|
- Response to future increases in gas demand involving medium-sized town gas suppliers where conversion to LNG is difficult
- Feedstock conversion from naphtha or LPG to DME at existing SNG production plants
