  • Process for the production of methanol from gaseous hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 11492315
    Abstract: There is a process for the production of methanol from gaseous hydrocarbons. The process has the following stages: (a) treating said gaseous hydrocarbons in a desulfurization unit to produce a desulfurized hydrocarbon gas; (b) reacting the desulfurized gas with an oxidizing flow by means of a short contact time partial catalytic oxidation reaction to produce synthesis gas; (c) producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water; (d) mixing and compressing synthesis gas and hydrogen; and (e) sending said compressed mixture to a methanol synthesis unit to produce methanol.
    Type: Grant
