PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS GAS
A process for producing synthesis gas, the process comprising the steps of a) reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming section thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH4, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O and impurities comprising ammonia; b) shifting the synthesis gas in a shift section comprising one o...

Zusammenfassung: | A process for producing synthesis gas, the process comprising the steps of a) reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming section thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH4, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O and impurities comprising ammonia; b) shifting the synthesis gas in a shift section comprising one or more shift steps in series to a shifted synthesis gas; c) separating from the shifted synthesis gas a process condensate originating from cooling and optionally washing of the shifted synthesis gas; d) passing a part of the process condensate to a condensate steam stripper, wherein dissolved shift byproducts comprising ammonia, methanol and amines formed during shifting the synthesis gas are stripped out of the process condensate using steam resulting in a stripper steam stream, e) adding the stripper steam stream from the process condensate steam stripper to the hydrocarbon feed and/or to the synthesis gas downstream the reforming section, up-stream the last shift step, wherein the remaining part of the process condensate is purged. |
