  • Process for manufacturing synthesis gas by indirect oxidation of hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 4620940
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing synthesis gas (16) from hydrocarbons, water, free oxygen, and a transfer gas containing steam and carbon oxides. The transfer gas is passed through a succession of essentially adiabatic catalyst beds (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and the hydrocarbons (9, 10,11) and oxygen (13, 14, 15) are alternately introduced at the input of each catalyst bed. The transfer gas may be prepared by vivid combustion of hydrocarbon or by hydrocarbon steam-reforming.

  • Process for manufacturing synthesis gas, particularly useful for producing methanol
    Patent number: 4582630
    Abstract: A synthesis gas for methanol production, containing hydrogen and carbon oxides, is obtained by performing, separately, a steam-reforming of hydrocarbons and a hydrocarbon combustion step: the effluents are admixed and the resultant mixture is subjected to steam-reforming.
