Abstract

A process for producing synthetic gases by reforming hydrocarbons with water vapor with catalytic converters in the reaction zone, where heat is exchanged with the combustion gas and recirculating the combustion gas that has been exchanging heat back. Also in the combustion field, the invention is also about a suitable device for one such process.

Claims (8)

1.Process for the production of synthetic gases by reforming hydrocarbons with water vapor with a catalyst in a reforming reaction zone consisting of a heat exchanger path. Through the oxygen-containing gas to the compression zone where the oxygen-containing gas is compressed and transmitted to the combustion zone (b) to burn the compressed gas with a type of fuel In the combustion zone to produce a hot combustion gas outlet stream (c) the flow of the hot combustion gas to the reforming zone where the hydrocarbon current is transformed. In the meantime, a heat exchange occurs between the outflow of the hot combustible gas and the reformer zone in order to release the synthetic gas from the dangling reformer. And to produce the combustion gas that is heat exchangered with the reformer; (d) the passage of at least part of the heat exchangered combustible gas into the turbo expander. And generates energy, which is used to compress the oxygen-containing gas as mentioned in steps (a) and (e) compression, at least the other. (B) one of the exchangered combustion gases and is recirculated back to the said combustion zone of the procedure (b). 2. Process under claim No. 1, where synthetic gases derived from the reforming reaction zone are compressed using the energy generated by that expansion. Said of the combustion gas that exchanges the heat in such step (d) 3. The process for which the claim is made in claim 1, where the said heat exchangered and compressed combustible gas of the procedure (e) has been recirculated to step (b). At temperatures from 600-850 degrees C and pressure from 5-30 bar. 4. The process for which the claim is made in claim 1, where the said heat exchangered and compressed combustible gas of the procedure (e) has been recirculated back to step (b). At temperatures from 650-800 degrees C and at pressure from 10-20 bar. 5. The process for the production of synthetic gas, collectively, is described here previously with reference to an example. 6.Synthetic gas obtained from the process of any of the above claims. 7. Equipment for synthesis gas production by reforming hydrocarbons to steam with catalysts. With such equipment consisting of Reforming reaction zone containing heat exchange pathways Compression zone and burning zone A path for passing oxygen-containing gases to the compressed zone, where the oxygen-containing gas is compressed and passed to the combustion zone. A method for combustion of the compressed gas with a type of fuel in the combustion zone to generate a hot combustion gas outlet stream. The path for the transmission of the hot combustion gas output to the reforming zone, where the hydrocarbon feeder flows are transformed. In the meantime, heat exchange occurs between the outflow of the hot combustion gas and the reformer area to release the synthetic gas from the reformer area and to This causes the combustion gas that is exchanging heat with the reformer area. The path for transmission of at least part of the exchangered combustible gas to the turbo expander and the route for compressing at least another part of the heat exchangered combustion gas. And a method for circulating the exchangered combustible gas back to the said combustion zone. 8. Equipment as claimed in Clause 7, where the combustion zone is made up of a gas turbine unit.
