摘要 |
The present invention relates to processes for hydromethanating a carbonaceous feedstock to a methane product stream and electrical power, in which heat energy from the hot methane-enriched synthesis gas is used to generate a dry saturated steam stream, the dry saturated steam stream is converted into a superheated steam stream via pressure drop for feeding into the hydromethanation reactor to satisfy the steam demand of the hydromethanation reaction, and heat generated from a downstream gas methanation processing is recovered to produce a superheated process steam stream which is used to generate the electric power.
