PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE GENERATION OF PROCESS STEAM AND BOILER FEED WATER STEAM IN A HEATABLE REFORMING REACTOR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SYNGAS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing process vapor and boiler feed steam in a heatable reforming reactor for producing synthesis gas. By means of the method according to the invention, the sensible heat of a synthesis gas produced from hydrocarbons and steam can be used so that two types of vapor are obtained, which are producing during the heating and evaporation of boiler feed water and process condensate, and wherein the method also comprises a conversion of the carbon monoxide contained in the synthesis gas, and wherein the method comprises an optional heating of the boiler feed water using the flue gas from the heating of the reforming reactor. By means of the method, the sensible heat of the synthesis gas and of the flue gas originating from the heating can be used more efficiently, wherein the disadvantages from the flue gas heating, which are caused by the fluctuating heat supply in the flue gas duct, are avoided. The invention further relates to a system by means of which said method can be carried out.
