AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR SYNGAS PRODUCTION FOR PETROCHEMICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

A process for producing syngas comprising reacting under non-adiabatic and near-isothermal conditions, via a catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) reaction, a reactant mixture in a reactor to produce syngas; wherein the reactant mixture comprises hydrocarbons and oxygen; wherein the reactor comprises a CPO catalyst; wherein the reactor is characterized by a contact time of from about 0.001 milliseconds (ms) to about 5 s; and wherein the syngas comprises hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water, and unreacted hydrocarbons.
