The present invention provides for a process for the production of syngas from hydrocarbon and oxygen feeds in a reactor A over a monolithic catalyst. The syngas is cooled in a number of stages including water quench stage B, compressed in a compressor G, and has carbon dioxide removed from it in adsorbent column I. The resulting gas mixture is separated cryogenically in cold box P by means of a partial condensation stage P1 to produce hydrogen gas and a residual liquid, a stripping stage P2 to remove dissolved hydrogen from the residual liquid, and a fractionation stage P3 to produce a pure carbon monoxide product from the stripped residual liquid. The hydrogen gas from stage P1 is recycled to the compressor G. |
