- the feed also comprises an amount of C02, wherein preferably the C02 over carbon (as hydrocarbon and CO) molar ratio is from 0.5 up to 2.
- the product gas of step (b) preferably has a temperature of from 600 up to 1000 °C and a H2/CO molar ratio of from 0.5 up to 2.5.
- Step (c) the temperature of the first gaseous product of step (a) is reduced by mixing this product with the steam reformer product of step (b) .
- This mixing may be performed in the partial oxidation reactor vessel, in a separate mixing vessel or within a separate CSR reactor vessel. If the mixing is performed in the POX reactor vessel it is preferably performed by feeding the steam reformer product to the lower end, preferably in the lower half of the POX reactor vessel, spaced away from the burner. In this manner no significant methane conversion takes place during mixing and a reduction of temperature will result.
- step (d) the mixture obtained m step (c) is contacted with a post reforming catalyst.
- a post reforming catalyst This may suitably be achieved by passing the gaseous mixture through a bed of suitable reforming catalyst.
- This catalyst bed may be position in the POX reactor vessel, in a separate vessel or in the CSR reactor vessel, also depending on the location at which step (c) is performed.
- step (c) is performed in the POX reactor vessel
- step (d) is preferably performed in a catalyst bed positioned just below the inlet of the steam reforming product in said vessel.
- the methane is preferably converted in a step (d) in which also a temperature reduction is achieved of suitably between 20 and 70 °C and preferably between 40 and 60 °C.
- the mixture obtained in step (d) having a reduced methane content preferably has a temperature of between 950 and 1100 °C and more preferably a temperature between 980 and 1050 °C.
- the methane conversion in step (d) is suitably between 10 and 50 wt%.
- the catalyst bed may be any well-known reformer catalyst, for example a Ni-containing catalyst or the catalysts as described for step (b) .
- step (d) The effluent of step (d) is subsequently fed to the CSR reactor zone wherein the gasses supply heat to said zone and a cooled final synthesis gas product s obtained.
- step (e) the temperature of the metal wall surfaces of the materials of the internals in the CSR reactor are preferably maintained below 1100 °C.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a CSR reactor (44) and a POX reactor vessel (51) .
- the CSR reactor (44) is provided with one or more parallel positioned reactor tubes (21) filled with a bed (22) of steam reforming catalyst, comprising a passageway (23) for hot gas, namely the effluent of step (d) .
- One reactor tube (21) may suitably be provided with between 1-10 passageways (23) .
- a third tube sheet (32) is present at the lower end of the reactor vessel (44) defining a space (33) which fluidly connects the vessel inlet (38) for the mixture as obtained in step (d) with the inlet of the passageways (23) which penetrate the tube sheet (32) via openings (34) which are preferably larger than the passageway (23) itself.
- the fact that the passageways are not fixed in the tube sheet (32) is advantageous because it allows the combined reactor tubes (21) and passageways (23) to freely thermally expand in the reactor vessel (44) at start-up and cool down situations.
- the lower ends of the passageway which extends into the lower space (33) may preferably be made from heat resistant materials like for example ceramics because of the high temperatures present in said space due to the fact that here the mixture as obtained in step (d) enters the CSR reactor via vessel inlet (38).
- the outlet opening (35) of the reactor tubes (21) comprising the catalyst bed (22) are positioned just above said tube sheet (32) .
- the steam reforming product being discharged from said opening (35) will enter space (36) defined as the space between tube sheets (40) and (32) .
- This space (36) fluidly connects the vessel outlet (39) for the steam reforming product with the openings (35) .
- the space (36) may suitably be provided with flow directing baffles which will direct the flow of steam reforming product in a zig zag flow through said space thereby optimising the contact of the hot steam reformer product gas and the external surface of the reactor tubes (21) present in said space.
- part of the steam reforming product being discharged from openings (35) will leave the reactor vessel via outlet (39) and part will leave space (36) via openings (34) to space (33) by operating the reactor such that the pressure in space (36) is higher than the pressure in space (33) .
- the pressure in space (36) is higher than the pressure in space (33) .
- the steam reformer product may enter space (33) to be mixed with the effluent of step (d) .
- Figure 1 further shows a vessel inlet (43) for natural gas and steam, a vessel inlet for a hot gaseous medium (38), a vessel outlet (39) for steam reforming product and a vessel outlet (42) for the gasses, which are emitted from the passageways (23) .
- Tube sheets (40) and (41) are present in order to fix the reactor tubes (21) and to define collecting space (45) for the gasses emitted by the passageways (23) and an inlet space (46) fluidly connecting the vessel inlet (43) for steam and natural gas and the reactor tubes (21) comprising the catalyst bed (22) .
- Figure 1 also shows a POX reactor vessel (51) provided with a burner (52) to which natural gas and oxygen (50) are provided too.
- Steam reformer product as discharged at (39) is fed to the POX reactor vessel (51) via conduit (55) and openings (57) such to perform mixing step (c) at a distance below burner (52) substantially outside the circulating flow around the burner (52), which flow is present in the upper region of the reactor vessel. This results in that no significant conversion of the methane as present in the steam reformer product takes place.
- Figure 1 also shows a post reforming catalyst bed (53) and a connecting conduit (56) to provide the mixture as obtained in step (d) to step (e) . In step (e) this mixture is provided to passageways (23) to supply heat to the steam reforming catalyst bed (22) .
- the synthesis gas as such obtained by the above process may advantageously be used as feedstock for a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process, methanol synthesis process, a di-methyl ether synthesis process, an acetic acid synthesis process, ammonia synthesis process or to other processes which use a synthesis gas mixture as feed such as for example processes involving carbonylation and hydroformylation reactions.
- steps (a) and (b) preferably recycle gases are fed.
- recycle gasses are obtained in, for example the above exemplified, processes which use the synthesis gas as prepared by the process according to the invention.
- These recycle gasses may comprise C ] __5 hydrocarbons, preferably c l-4 hydrocarbons, more preferably C ⁇ _3 hydrocarbons.
- hydrocarbons are gaseous at temperatures of 5-30 °C (1 bar), especially at 20 °C (1 bar).
- oxygenated compounds e.g. methanol, dimethylether, acetic acid may be present.
- the invention is especially directed to the above process for the preparation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide containing gas (synthesis gas), wherein additional steps (f) and (g) are also performed.
- step (f) the synthesis gas is catalytically converted using a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst into a hydrocarbons comprising stream.
