INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR THE GASIFICATION OF WHOLE CRUDE OIL IN A MEMBRANE WALL GASIFIER AND POWER GENERATION

摘要

An integrated process for the partial oxidation of whole crude oil mixed with a low cost finely divided solid ash-producing material in a membrane wall gasification reactor produces a syngas and, optionally, a more hydrogen-rich product stream by subjecting the syngas to a water-gas shift reaction. Process steam and electricity are produced by recovering the sensible heat values from the hot syngas.
