    Abstract: A system for production of a synthesis gas, including: a synthesis gas generation reactor arranged for producing a first synthesis gas from a hydrocarbon feed stream; a post converter including a catalyst active for catalyzing steam methane reforming, methanation and reverse water gas shift reactions; the post converter including a conduit for supplying a CO2 rich gas stream into a mixing zone of the post converter, where the CO2 rich gas stream in the conduit upstream the mixing zone is in heat exchange relationship with gas flowing over the catalyst downstream the mixing zone; a pipe combining the at least part of the first synthesis gas and the CO2 rich gas stream to a mixed gas, in a mixing zone being upstream the catalyst; wherein the post converter further includes an outlet for outletting a product synthesis gas from the post converter. Also, a corresponding process.

    Abstract: A process for production of elemental sulfur from a feedstock gas including from 15% to 100 vol % H2S and a stream of sulfuric acid, the process including: a) providing a Claus reaction furnace feed stream substoichiometric oxygen with respect to the Claus reaction, b) directing to a reaction furnace zone operating at elevated temperature such as above 900° C., c) directing to a sulfuric acid evaporation zone downstream said reaction furnace zone, d) cooling to provide a cooled Claus converter feed gas, e) directing to contact a material catalytically active in the Claus reaction, f) withdrawing a Claus tail gas and elemental sulfur, g) directing to a Claus tail gas treatment plant, with the associated benefit of a process involving injection of sulfuric acid in a sulfuric acid evaporation zone allowing high temperature combustion of said feedstock gas, including impurities, without cooling from evaporation and decomposition of sulfuric acid.
