Abstract

See full text

An assembly for producing at least one synthetic hydrocarbon from at least one inflowing stream of carbon monoxide and one inflowing stream of carbon dioxide is provided. The assembly includes an electrolyzer provided for producing a first stream of hydrogen, a first conversion unit provided for producing an intermediate stream of carbon monoxide from at least one portion of the inflowing stream of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, a reactor for synthesizing said synthetic hydrocarbon; a second conversion unit provided for producing a second stream of hydrogen from carbon monoxide and water, the second hydrogen stream being directed towards the synthesis reactor; a guide assembly provided for selectively distributing the inflowing stream of carbon monoxide between the second conversion unit and the synthesis reactor, and for selectively distributing the first hydrogen stream between the first conversion unit and the synthesis reactor; a control unit provided for controlling the guide assembly.
