Nickel-based methanation catalyst is a highly effective solution for converting carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and hydrogen (H₂) in syngas into methane (CH₄). This process is crucial for the deep purification of syngas derived from various sources, including natural gas. Additionally, this catalyst can be integrated into ammonia synthesis systems to enhance overall efficiency.

The Methanation Reaction:

CO + 3H₂ ↔ CH₄ + H₂O

CO₂ + 4H₂ ↔ CH₄ + 2H₂O
