US 6,339,939 B1 · Process for the conversion of a flow containing hydrocarbons by partial oxidation

Abstract

Air is distilled in a single column installed on a boat, and from here an oxygen-enriched liquid flow is drawn off. This flow is pressurized by a pump and vaporized by heat exchange with air or nitrogen. The oxygen is used for the partial oxidation of a flow contained hydrocarbons, for example natural gas.
