Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for removing CO2 from products by using a first acid gas absorber and a second acid gas absorber, which are both a part of a single acid gas removal unit.

Abstract: The method disclosed herein relates to two stage catalytic processes for converting syngas to acetic acid, acrylic acid and/or propylene. More specifically, the method described and claimed herein relate to a method of producing acrylic acid and acetic acid comprising the steps of: a) providing a feedstream comprising syngas; b) contacting the feedstream with a first catalyst to produce a first product stream comprising C2-C3 olefins and/or C2-C3 paraffins; and c) contacting the first product stream with oxygen gas and a second catalyst, thereby producing a second product stream comprising acrylic acid and acetic acid, wherein there is no step for separating the components of the first product stream before the first product stream is contacted with the second catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method comprising the steps of: a) producing a hydrocarbon stream from syngas via a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, wherein the hydrocarbon stream comprises a first C2 hydrocarbon stream comprising ethane and a first ethylene product; b) separating at least a portion of the first C2 hydrocarbon stream from the hydrocarbon stream; c) separating at least a portion of the first ethylene product from the first C2 hydrocarbon stream, thereby producing a second C2 hydrocarbon stream; d) converting at least a portion of the ethane in the second C2 hydrocarbon stream to a second ethylene product; and e) producing ethylene oxide from at least a portion of the second ethylene product.
