Abstract
A process and reactor system are provided for production of a CO-containing stream. The process includes the steps of supplying a carbon-containing first feed and an optional co-feed to the electrically-heated reactor and allowing them to undergo a CO-forming reaction, while heating the electrically-heated reactor by means of electrical power; and outletting a CO-containing stream from electrically-heated reactor, wherein the content of sulfur-containing species in the total gas mixture supplied to the electrically-heated reactor—measured in terms of H2S—is in the range of 1-50 ppm.
Claims21
A process for production of a CO-containing stream from a carbon-containing first feed in a reactor system, optionally in the presence of a co-feed comprising sulfur-containing species;
- said reactor system comprising:
- an electrically-heated reactor comprising a catalyst capable of converting a carbon-containing first feed into the CO-containing stream;
- a carbon-containing first feed to said electrically-heated reactor;
- optionally a co-feed comprising sulfur-containing species to said electrically-heated reactor;
- said process comprising the steps of
- supplying said carbon-containing first feed and said co-feed, if present, to the electrically-heated reactor and allowing them to undergo a CO-forming reaction, while heating said electrically-heated reactor by means of electrical power;
- and
- outletting a CO-containing stream from the electrically-heated reactor,
- wherein the content of sulfur-containing species in the total gas mixture supplied to the electrically-heated reactor—measured in terms of H2S—is in the range of 1-50 ppm.
