SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION AND USE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/142739

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A method of producing synthesis gas for methanol synthesis (7) that comprises the steps of: (a) obtaining a hydrogen stream that has greater than 5 mol% methane from an external process; (b) feeding into a reforming reactor (4): (i) a feed gas that comprises methane(l), (ii) water (2) in a specified amount, (Hi) oxygen (3) in a specified amount, and (iv) the hydrogen stream in a specified amount; (c) reacting the feed gas, water, oxygen and the hydrogen stream in the reactor; and (d) withdrawing from the reactor the synthesis gas (5) that is at a specific temperature, has less than 3 mol% methane, and has a stoichiometric number of from 1.9 to 2.3.
