CAMPAIGNING GASIFICATION OF TEXTILES AND PLASTICS AND SOLID FOSSIL FUELS TO PRODUCE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

A process for the production of syngas to make at least one chemical by campaigning the production of syngas from a single gasifier between one or more first feedstock streams to produce a first syngas for a first period of time, and transitioning to one or more second feedstock streams to produce a second syngas for a second period of time, wherein the one or more first feedstock streams contains a solid fossil fuel and the one or more second feedstock streams contain textiles and/or plastics and the amount of textiles and/or plastics fed to the gasifier in the second time period is higher than the amount, if any, of textiles and/or plastics fed to the gasifier in the first time period, and the gasifier is operated at a lower gasification temperature during at least a portion of the second time period than the gasification temperature in the first time period.
