PROCEDE POUR LA PRODUCTION DE GAZ DE SYNTHESE ET DE COMBUSTIBLES NON CONTAMINES

摘要

The disclosure relates to the production of synthesis gas and clean fuels by the integration of fluid catalytic cracking and catalytic steam reforming. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a combination of process steps in which a heavy hydrocarbon oil is cracked in a heavy oil catalytic cracking unit to produce a cracked overhead effluent which is hydrogenated and the resulting saturated desulfurized effluent is reformed in a catalytic steam reforming unit to produce synthesis gas. Further, the disclosure relates to the production of substitute natural gas and to the production of substitute natural gas and low sulfur fuel oil by the multi-step processing of crude oil.
