본 공장(진해화학주식회사)에서 암모니아는 나프타를 원료로 한 수소와 공기 중의 질소를 합성하여 제조된다. 암모니아 제조 공정 중 메탄가스(CH$_{4}$)와 수소가스(H$_{2}$) 중에 불순물로 존재하는 유화 수소(H$_{2}$S)를 제거시키는 공정이 탈황공정이다. 탈황공정은 산화 아연(ZnO)과 코발트-몰리브덴(Cobalt-Molybdenum) 촉매층에서 이루어지며 탈황공정이 이루어지는 용기를 탈황조(desulfurizer vessel)라 한다. 본 공장에 설치된 탈황조는 1966년에 설치되어 운용되어 왔다. 본 공장의 안전 조업을 위해 초음파 탐상법, 방사선 투과 탐상법, 표면 침투 탐상법으로써 탈황조의 노후도 측정을 행하였다. 탐상 결과 스테인레스 클래드의 모재부 용접선을 따라 균열이 발견되었다. 균열 부위를 깊이 연마하여 용접 결함부를 제거하고 다시 용접을 함으로써 본 탈황조를 연장하여 사용할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 고온고압 건식탈황장치를 이용하여 고체순환량과 탈황반응기 내의 공극률에 대한 수력학적특성을 파악하고, 아연계 탈황제의 고온고압 조건에서 탈황반응온도에 대한 반응특성 및 연속운전을 통한 탈황 효율을 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 고온고압건식탈황장치는 고속유동층 형태의 탈황반응기(내경: 0.015 m, 높이: 6.2 m), 기포유동층 형태의 재생반응기(내경: 0.053 m, 높이: 1.6 m), 가스의 역흐름을 방지하는 loop-seal, 두 반응기 후단에 압력컨트롤밸브로 구성되어있다. 수력학 특성으로는 고체순환밸브 개구비, 탈황반응기 가스 유속, 탈황반응기 온도 변화에 따른 고체순환량과 각 조건에서의 고속유동층 형태의 탈황반응기 높이에 따른 공극률 분포를 알아보았다. 고체순환량은 동일한 유속조건, 동일한 고체순환밸브 개구비에서 탈황반응기 온도가 상온일 때보다 $300^{\circ}C$와 $550^{\circ}C$일 때 감소하였으며 $300^{\circ}C$와 $550^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 큰 차이가 없었다. 탈황반응기내의 공극률은 고체순환밸브 개구비가 10~20%로 고체순환량이 적은 경우 고속유동층 형태의 공극률 분포를 보이고, 30~40%로 고체순환량이 많아지는 경우 탈황반응기 하부에서 turbulent 형태의 공극률의 분포를 나타냈다. 아연계 탈황제의 탈황반응온도에 따른 반응특성은 시스템 압력 20 atm, 연속 반응 조건에서 탈황 온도를 변화시키면서 살펴보았다. 일정한 고체순환 조건에서 탈황온도 $450^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 탈황 효율 저하가 시작되는 것을 확인하였으며, 높은 탈황 효율을 유지시키기 위하여 10시간 연속운전에서는 탈황 반응 온도를 $500^{\circ}C$로 설정하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과, 10시간 연속운전을 통해, 유입 $H_2S$ 농도 5,000 ppmv 조건에서 탈황 반응기 후단 $H_2S$ 농도는 UV분석기(Radas2)와 검지관(GASTEC)의 검출한계인 1 ppmv 이하를 유지하여 $H_2S$ 제거 효율 99.99% 이상을 달성하였다.

Hydrogen is receiving much research attention as an alternative substitute for hydrocarbon fuels these days due to its cleanliness and renewability. However, hydrogen should be used with caution because of its high propensity for leak and wide flammable range. This study deals with a situation that hydrogen leaks and then forms a flammable mixture inside 1kW class residential fuel cell. The residential fuel cell was modeled as a box-shaped chamber with vent openings at the top and bottom, filled with various components such as reformer, desulfurizer, fuel cell stack and humidifier. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the diffusion, buoyant flow and accumulation of leaked hydrogen in the modeled chamber. From the simulation, the risk region vulnerable to flame was identified and the methods to minimize such hazardous region was discussed. When the vent openings are 1% of the total surface, as the quantity of hydrogen leakage increases the risk regions increases accordingly. As the vent openings of the total surface increased from 1% to 2.3%, averaged hydrogen mole fraction is under 1% in the system.

We have developed a $kW_e$ class liquid fuel based solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system. Our final target is to develop the 1 $kW_e$ diesel based SOFC system for residential power generator(RPG). In this study, we present the conceptual design of SOFC system. System is composed of hot-box and cold-box. Planar typed SOFC stack, heat exchanger, combustor for stack tail gas, and fuel processor, such as fuel reformer and desulfurizer, are contained in the hot-box. And several balance of plants(BOP), such as fuel suppliers and controller, are contained in the cold-box. Before the SOFC system fabrication, we have already operated the selfsustaining fuel processor, and heat exchange of all heat-related components is simulated using ASPEN HYSYS, because heat maintenance and management in hot-box are important for stable operation of SOFC system. The self-sustained fuel processor was successfully operated for about 250 hours, and heat exchange is enough to operate the SOFC system.

The Tancheon wastewater treatment plant(WWTP) in Seoul using anaerobic digestion to reduce the outlet sludge produces anaerobic digester gas which contains 65% $CH_4$ and 35% $CO_2$. The gas purification equipment was installed and operated to use Anaerobic Digester Gas(ADG) as a fuel for molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC). The processes consist of the desulfurizer and the adsorption tower to remove $H_2S$ and siloxane in the gas. The gas purification equipment removed virtually over 95% of $H_2S$ and over 99% of siloxane. Results has demonstrated that the fuel cell can produce electrical output and hot water with negligible air emissions of CO, NOx and $SO_2$. The site provides the first opportunity in Korea for demonstrating Molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC) which the digester gas was applied to the fuel gas.

Kerosene-driven solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system with reformer, desulfurizer and after-burner was mainly developed for this study. Originally the system was developed for 1kW class SOFC system for residential power generation (RPG) application. As a preliminary study of 1kW class SOFC system operation, a short stack was applied to the system. The short stack consists of 7 cells of $10cm{\times}10cm$ area and was operated at $720^{\circ}C$. The effect of anode inlet gas composition to stack performance was investigated. Firstly, I-V characteristics of SOFC with different fuel of kerosene and hydrogen were studied. Secondly $CH_4$ internal reforming was performed at various anode inlet gas compositions of $H_2$, $CH_4$ and $H_2O$. Through these experiments the effects of each anode inlet gas component to stack performance were analyzed and the significant operating parameters were iscussed.

우리나라는 천연가스 수입국으로 2018년 미국이 수출한 물량의 20%를 수입할 정도로 많은 양을 수입하고 있다. 이에 가스 수요를 만족시키며, 기후변화 대응에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 바이오가스는 대체제가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 바이오가스의 생산량의 20%만이 판매되고 있고, 이 역시 효율이 좋지 못해 활용하기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 바이오가스를 도시가스로 공급 할 수 있는 최적의 정제 시스템을 개발을 목적으로 하였다. 시스템 선정을 위한 바이오가스에 대한 분석, 시스템 설계를 위한 사례 발굴, 시나리오 구성, 비용편익 툴을 개발하고 사례 적용하여 최적의 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다.

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of $MnO_x$ with $NH_3$ is an effective method for the removal of $MnO_x$ from stationary system. The typical catalyst for this method is $V_2O_5-WO_3(MoO_3)/TiO_2$, caused by the high activity and stability. However, This catalyst is active within $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ and occurs the pore plugging from the deposition of ammonium sulfate salts on the catalysts surface. It needs to locate the SCR unit after the desulfurizer and electrostatic precipitator without reheating of the flue gas as well as deposition of dust on the catalyst. The manganese oxides supported on titania catalysts have attracted interest because of its high SCR activity at low temperature. The catalytic activity of $MnO_x/TiO_2$ SCR catalyst with different manganese precursors have investigated for low-temperature SCR in terms of structural, morphological, and physico-chemical analyses. The $MnO_x/TiO_2$ were prepared from three different precursors such as manganese nitrate, manganese acetate (II), and manganese acetate (III) by the sol-gel method and then it calcinated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. The structural analysis was carried out to identify the phase transition and the change intensity of catalytic activity by various manganese precursors was analyzed by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. These different precursors also led to various surface Mn concentrations indicated by SEM. The Mn acetate (III) tends to be more suppressive the crystalline phase (rutile), and it has not only smaller particle size, but also better distributed than the others. It was confirmed that the catalytic activity of MA (III)-$MnO_x/TiO_2$ was the highest among them.

To extract hydrogen for stack, fuels such as LPG and LNG were reformed in the fuel processor, which is comprised of desulfurizer, reformer, shift converter, CO remover and steam generator. All elements of fuel processor are integrated in a single package. Highly active catalysts (desulfurizing adsorbent, reforming catalyst, CO shift catalyst, CO removal catalyst) and the various burners were developed and evaluated in this study. The performance of the developed catalysts and the commercial ones was similar. 1 kW, 5 kW class fuel processor systems using the developed catalyst and burner showed efficiency of 75 %(LHV, for LNG). The start-up time of the 1 kW class fuel processor was less than 50 minutes and its volume including insulation was about 30 l. The start-up time of 3 kW and 5 kW class fuel processors with the volume of 90 l and 150 l, respectively, was about 60 minutes. In the case of LPG fuel, efficiency, volume and start-up time of 1kW class fuel processor showed 73 %(LHV), < 60 l and < 60 min, respectively. Advanced fuel processor showed more highly efficiency and shorter start-up time due to the improvement of heat exchanger and operating method. 1 kW and 3 kW class fuel processors have been evaluated for reliability and durability including with on/off test of developed catalysts and burner.
