Sabatier Methanation Reactor

Interactive 3D simulation of synthetic natural gas (SNG) production via the Sabatier reaction: CO2 and H2 flow through a catalytic reactor bed and combine into CH4 and H2O, with conversion controlled by temperature, feed ratio, flow rate and catalyst activity.

Synthetic natural gas (SNG) is made by feeding captured CO₂ and electrolytic hydrogen into a catalytic reactor, where the Sabatier reaction converts them into methane and water. This simulation streams individual CO₂ and H₂ "molecules" through a reactor tube with a fixed catalyst bed, reacting them into CH₄ and H₂O at a rate governed by temperature, feed ratio, flow rate and catalyst health — exactly the levers a real power-to-gas plant tunes to maximise pipeline-grade methane output.
