Abstract
A process for producing syngas in a first reactor, the process comprising: feeding carbon dioxide, hydrogen and first hydrocarbons into the first reactor; at least partially oxidizing the first hydrocarbons in the first region of the first reactor; producing syngas from the carbon dioxide, hydrogen and the oxidized first hydrocarbons in a second region of the first reactor.
Claims18
A syngas production process, comprising:
- receiving, by the syngas production process, a feed stream that comprises carbon dioxide, wherein the received carbon dioxide is the main carbon source of the syngas production process;
- supplying the feed stream to a first reactor;
- generating syngas in the first reactor in dependence on at least some of the carbon dioxide in the feed stream, wherein the syngas comprises carbon monoxide and hydrogen;
- and
- outputting the syngas from the first reactor;
- wherein the syngas production process further comprises:
- further receiving, by the first reactor, hydrogen and first hydrocarbons;
- at least partially oxidizing the first hydrocarbons in a first region of the first reactor;
- and
- generating, in a second region of the first reactor, the syngas at least partially in dependence on carbon dioxide from the feed stream, hydrogen and the oxidized first hydrocarbons;
- wherein at least a portion of the first hydrocarbons fed into the first reactor are recycled second hydrocarbons that have been generated in dependence on syngas output from the first reactor.
