Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING METHANOL FROM HYDROCARBON
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002096845
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing methanol from hydrocarbon, especially natural gas, whereby the synthesis gas is produced in at least two different reforming systems, one of which containing at last one reforming device which produces a hypostoichiometric synthesis gas, and the other containing at least one reforming device which produces a hyperstoichiometric synthesis gas. The hyperstoichiometric synthesis gas produced is subsequently compressed, the hyperstoichiometric and hypostoichiometric synthesis gases produced are combined, and the combined synthesis gas is catalytically converted into methanol in a circulation system under pressure. According to the invention, each reforming system can consist of a plurality of individual reforming devices which are connected in parallel.
