PROCESSO PARA A PRODUCAO DE GASES DE SINTESE,PARA USO NA PRODUCAO DE AMONIA E METANOL,A PARTIR DE UMA CORRENTE DE COMPONENTE DE HIDROCARBONETO

摘要

Synthesis gases are produced by reaction of steam, oxidant, and a major portion of fresh hydrocarbon feed in an exothermic catalytic reforming zone to a first reformed gas having very low methane content. The balance of the fresh feed is reacted with steam in an endothermic catalytic reforming zone to a second reformed gas having a low methane content. The first and second reformed gases are combined and passed in indirect heat exchange with reactants in the endothermic reforming zone to provide all of the heat required therein and are then recovered as product synthesis gases.
