PROCEDIMIENTO IGCC CON ETAPA COMBINADA DE SINTESIS DEL METANOL/CONVERSION DEL GAS EN AGUA PARA LA PRODUCCION DEL METANOL Y DE ENERGIA ELECTRICA.

摘要

The present invention relates to an improvement to a process for the production of methanol from synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen utilizing a three phase or liquid-phase reaction technology. The improvement to the process is the addition of relatively small amounts of water to the liquid-phase reactor thereby allowing for the use of a CO-rich synthesis gas for the production of methanol by effectuating in the same reactor the methanol synthesis and water-gas shift reactions.
