DME Abstract

Dimethyl ether (DME) is a clean, economical alternative fuel that can be produced from natural gas through synthesis gas. DME has properties similar to LP gas and can be used as a fuel for power generation, transportation, home heating, and cooking. It contains no sulfur, nitrogen, or metals and is not corrosive or harmful to humans. DME is synthesized from synthesis gas through several chemical reactions and has the potential to be widely used as a clean household, transportation, and power generation fuel produced from natural gas, coal, or biomass.

Abstract:

Dimethyl ether (DME) is a clean and economical alternative fuel which can be
produced from natural gas through synthesis gas. The properties of DME are very
similar to those of LP gas. DME canbe used for various fields as a fuel such as power
generation, transportation, home heating and cooking,etc. It contains no sulfur or
nitrogen. It is not corrosive to any metal and not harmful to human body.

Reactions:

3 CO2 +3 H 2

CH 3 OCH 3+ CO2

2CO +4 H 2

2CH 3 O H

2CH 3 OH

CH 3 OCH 3+ H 2 O

2CO + H 2 O

CO2 + H 2

Conclusions :
DME is an excellent clean fuel, easy to transport, and could be used extensively in
various sectors as household, transportation and power generation. DME can be
produced from various raw materials such as natural gas, coal or coal bed methane
etc. through synthesis gas.
DME is synthesized from synthesis gas of
ATR from biomass with by-produced
the range of 0.5 -1.00.
