Abstract
A method of hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons for syngas production is presented. A hydrogenation feed reactor stream is introduced into a hydrogenation reactor, thereby producing a reformer feed stream. The reformer feed stream is introduced into a reformer, thereby producing a crude syngas stream. The crude syngas stream is introduced into a water gas shift converter, thereby producing a hydrogen-rich stream. The hydrogen-rich stream is separated in a separation means, thereby producing a carbon dioxide-rich stream and a hydrogen product stream. At least a portion of the hydrogen product stream is combined with a refinery fuel gas stream, and a natural gas stream, to form the hydrogenation reactor feed stream.
Claims5
A method of hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons for syngas production, comprising;
- introducing a hydrogenation reactor feed stream into a hydrogenation reactor, thereby producing a reformer feed stream;
- introducing said reformer feed stream into a reformer, thereby producing a crude syngas stream;
- introducing said crude syngas stream into a water gas shift converter, thereby producing a hydrogen-rich stream;
- separating said hydrogen-rich stream in a separation means, thereby producing a carbon dioxide-rich stream and a hydrogen product stream;
- and
- combining at least a portion of said hydrogen product stream, a refinery fuel gas stream, and a natural gas stream, to form said hydrogenation reactor feed stream.
