A PROCESS FOR ENHANCING THE OPERABILITY OF HOT GAS CLEANUP FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS GAS FROM STEAM-HYDROGASIFICATION PRODUCER GAS

摘要

A process for enhancing the operability of hot gas cleanup for the produc tion of synthesis gas in which a stream of methane rich gas is autothermally reformed at a temperature and pressure sufficient to generate a stream of s ynthesis gas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the synthesis gas is subj ected to condensation and removing the resultant water, and sulfur impuritie s are removed from the resultant synthesis gas stream.
