My PhD research aims to address these challenges at different scales. The first two problems deal with the DRM process. A Life-Cycle Analysis and Process Optimization was done which resulted in formulating process flow-sheets that can have lower CO2 emissions compared to existing processes as well as solve the low H2/CO ratio problem. Specifically, it was found that a post-DRM syngas ratio adjustment step to adjust H2/CO ratio, by removing CO resulted in a process with lower carbon footprint and lower operating costs compared to existing commercial processes. At the lower scale - catalyst scale, I have tested Nickel catalysts over-coated with Alumina layers via Atomic Layer Deposition technique. The catalyst testing experiments helped understand the effectiveness of the ALD overcoat to reduce coking and sintering of catalysts. Overall, this work addresses the major challenges of the DRM process and provides some plausible solutions that can be taken at the process level and the catalyst level, to help facilitate the DRM process at larger scales.
