METHOD FOR AN IMPROVED PARTIAL CONDENSATION CARBON MONOXIDE COLD BOX OPERATION

The present invention is directed to a method and system of separating carbon monoxide from syngas mixtures with high methane content by cryogenic means where a partial condensation cycle is generally employed, and more specifically towards combining the methane-rich liquid exiting the distillation...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed to a method and system of separating carbon monoxide from syngas mixtures with high methane content by cryogenic means where a partial condensation cycle is generally employed, and more specifically towards combining the methane-rich liquid exiting the distillation column with a lower-boiling mixture so that the boiling point of the combined stream is lower than the boiling point of the methane-rich liquid.
