From natural gas - oxygen fired power plant to integrated production of electricity and syngas (H2 and CO). The cost of H2 & CO as a feedstock
for industrial chemistry is at least twice greater than that as a fuel. Please, see [1-3] for details and mass and energy balances
Natural gas - oxygen fired gas turbine cycle integrated
with adiabatic methane converter [1,2] Adiabatic methane converter utilizes
sensible heat and reactivity of combustion products (H2O and CO2):
CH4+H2O = CO+3H2 (syngas); CH4+CO2 = 2CO+2H2 (syngas)
Natural gas - oxygen fired gas turbine cycle integrated
with methane partial oxidation reactor [3] Partial oxidation reactor combines reactions (1) and (2):
H2 + 0.5O2 = H2O_(1);CH4 + 0.5O2 = CO+2H2(syngas)_(2)
The oxy-hydrogen combustion (1) promotes partial oxidation (2). Please, see chapter "Partial oxidation of Organic Gases .." on main page for more details
