Synthesis gas, eg gases produced by the gasification of coal or oil, containing in excess of 30% by volume (dry basis) of carbon monoxide and, can be methanated to produce a gas useful as a substitute natural gas by catalytically methanating a minor portion of a stream of the synthesis gas, heating and saturating two further portions of the synthesis gas, catalytically methanating a mixture of the first portion of heated and saturated gas and the methanation product from the minor stream, mixing the thus produced methanation product with the second portion of heated and saturated gas and methanating the mixture to produce a methane rich gas. The temperature of the gases to be methanated in each stage will range from 200 DEG to 450 DEG |
