Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a process to prepare a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen from a carbonaceous feed by performing a partial oxidation reaction and an endothermic steam reforming reaction.
  • EP-A-168892 describes an endothermic steam reforming reaction, which is carried out in a fixed bed situated in at least one pipe in which a temperature of between 800 and 950° C. is maintained by routing at least part of the hot product gas from a partial oxidation reaction along the pipe(s).
  • the combined partial oxidation (POX) and endothermic production of synthesis gas result in a better yield of synthesis gas, an increased H 2 /CO ratio, a lower usage of oxygen per m 3 of synthesis gas product obtained and a lower capital cost of the plant for the production of CO and H 2 -containing gas mixtures (as compared to partial oxidation).
  • a reactor and process for performing a steam reforming reaction is described in DE-A-3345088.
  • This publication describes a reactor vessel for performing a steam reforming reaction starting from a natural gas feedstock.
  • the vessel consisted of a tube sheet from which a plurality of tubes filled with a suitable catalyst extended into the vessel.
  • the required heat of reaction is provided by passing the hot effluent of a partial oxidation reaction of natural gas at the exterior of the reactor tubes in the vessel.
  • Such steam reformer reactors are also referred to as so-called convective steam reformer reactors (CSR).
  • CSR convective steam reformer reactors
  • the higher methane content of the steam reformer product as a result of operating the CSR at lower temperatures is balanced by performing the catalytic post reforming step in which part of the methane is converted to synthesis gas.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a POX and a CSR reactor in a configuration according the invention.
  • the carbonaceous feedstock in step (a) is preferably a gaseous hydrocarbon, suitably methane, natural gas, associated gas or a mixture of C 1-4 hydrocarbons.
  • gaseous hydrocarbons are natural gas, refinery gas, associated gas or (coal bed) methane and the like.
  • the gaseous hydrocarbons suitably comprises mainly, i.e. more than 90 v/v %, especially more than 94%, C 1-4 hydrocarbons, especially comprises at least 60 v/v percent methane, preferably at least 75 percent, more preferably 90 percent.
  • natural gas or associated gas is used.
  • any sulphur in the feedstock is removed.
  • the carbonaceous feed in both steps (a) and (b) is a gaseous feed as described above.
  • step (a) the partial oxidation may be performed according to well known principles as for example described for the Shell Gasification Process in the Oil and Gas Journal, Sep. 6, 1971, pp 85-90.
  • Publications describing examples of partial oxidation processes are EP-A-291111, WO-A-9722547, WO-A-9639354 and WO-A-9603345.
  • the feed is contacted with an oxygen containing gas under partial oxidation conditions preferably in the absence of a catalyst.
  • the oxygen containing gas may be air (containing about 21 percent of oxygen) and preferably oxygen enriched air, suitably containing up to 100 percent of oxygen, preferably containing at least 60 volume percent oxygen, more preferably at least 80 volume percent, more preferably at least 98 volume percent of oxygen.
  • oxygen enriched air may be produced via cryogenic techniques, but is preferably produced by a membrane based process, e.g. the process as described in WO 93/06041.
  • step (a) Contacting the feed with the oxygen containing gas in step (a) is preferably performed in a burner placed in a reactor vessel.
  • carbon dioxide and/or steam may be introduced into the feed.
  • water produced in an optional downstream hydrocarbon synthesis e.g. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, may be used.
  • the gaseous product of the partial oxidation reaction in step (a) typically has a temperature of between 1100 and 1500° C. and an H 2 /CO molar ratio of from 1.5 up to 2.6, preferably from 1.6 up to 2.2.
