Abstract

See full text

During the production of methanol from inert-rich syngas, a catalytic pre-reactor is installed upstream of the single- or multi-stage synthesis loop, a first part of the syngas being converted to methanol in the catalytic pre-reactor. An inert gas separation stage, for example a pressure swing adsorption system or a membrane system, can be connected downstream of the synthesis loop, whereby a hydrogen-enriched syngas stream can be returned to the synthesis loop. In the processing of methane-rich syngas, the inert gas separation stage may also have an autothermal reformer in which methane is converted to carbon oxides and hydrogen, which are also returned into the synthesis loop.
