Abstract
Process for the production of synthesis gas which involves the steps of: a) preparing a vapor phase mixture comprising steam and at least one hydrocarbon or oxygenated hydrocarbon with an atmospheric boiling point in the range of −50 to 370° C., said vapor phase mixture having a H2O/C molar ratio at least 2, and b) catalytically or non-catalytically converting the vapor phase mixture into synthesis gas, which process is characterized in that the oxygen is only added in bonded form.
Claims13
Process for the production of synthesis gas, which comprises:
- a) preparing in a gas-liquid contacting device a vapor phase mixture comprising steam and at least one hydrocarbon or oxygenated hydrocarbon with an atmospheric boiling point in the range of −50 to 370° C., said vapor phase mixture having a H2O/C molar ratio of at least 2, wherein the vapor phase mixture does not contain elemental oxygen, and oxygen in the vapor phase mixture is only supplied by water of the steam or is present in the oxygenated hydrocarbon, so that oxygen is only added in bonded form, and
- b) catalytically or non-catalytically converting the vapor phase mixture into synthesis gas.
Process for the production of synthesis gas, comprising
- preparing a vapor phase mixture with a H2O/C molar ratio of at least 2 which comprises steam and at least one hydrocarbon or oxygenated hydrocarbon with an atmospheric boiling point in the range of −50 to 370° C., by introducing the steam at a bottom of a distillation column and introducing the at least one hydrocarbon or oxygenated hydrocarbon is at a top of said distillation column, and
- feeding the vapor phase mixture exiting the top of the distillation column to a reformer to catalytically or non-catalytically convert the vapor phase mixture into synthesis gas.
