Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method, system and plant for the reduction of energy consumption, preferably a green methanol plant. The present invention provides for a reduced overall energy consumption of the green plant—re-use of the distillation energy into the stabilizer column and CO2 reboiler in carbon capture unit—and thereby a reduced electrical import for heater/boiler or reduced fuel consumption in steam generation.
Abstract:
A broad aspect of the disclosure relates to a process for hydroprocessing of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock stream comprising the steps of
directing said hydrocarbonaceous feedstock stream to contact a material catalytically active in hydroprocessing thus providing a hydroprocessed stream separating said hydroprocessed stream in a purified hydrocarbon stream, sour water and a separation off-gas, separating said sour water in a purified water stream and sour stream, directing said sour stream as a liquid sour recycle stream either to contact said material catalytically active in hydroprocessing or to be combined with said hydroprocessed stream prior to step b, said material catalytically active in hydroprocessing comprising at least one base metal from Group 5, 8, 9 or 10 of the periodic table in sulfided state.
This has the benefit of minimizing or even avoiding the need for addition of sulfur to keep the catalytically active material in the active sulfided state.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a process for enriching a synthesis gas in hydrogen by contacting said synthesis gas with a water gas shift catalyst, the synthesis gas being a CO-rich synthesis gas including at least 15 vol % CO and at least 1 ppmv sulfur, and the water gas shift catalyst including Zn, Al, optionally Cu, and an alkali metal or alkali metal compound; the water gas shift catalyst is free of chromium (Cr) and iron (Fe), and has a pore volume, as determined by mercury intrusion, of 240 ml/kg or higher.

The syngas stage makes effective utilization of CO2 rich stream and H2 rich stream. The syngas stage may include an external feed of hydrocarbons. A method for producing a syngas stream is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for improving efficiency of an existing ammonia synthesis gas plant or a new ammonia synthesis gas plant by establishing a combination of secondary steam reforming using oxygen from electrolysis of water for the production of ammonia synthesis gas.
Abstract:
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 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 a part of the stripper steam stream from the process condensate steam strip-per 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 stripper steam is purged.
Abstract:
Process for the conversion of oxygenates to C5+ hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range, comprising the steps of continuously a) providing one or more feed streams of one or more oxygenate compounds; b) heating the one or more feed streams to an inlet temperature of one or more downstream conversion reactors; c) introducing the one or more heated feed stream into inlet of the one or more conversion reactors; d) converting in the one or more conversion reactors the one or more heated feed stream in presence of catalyst to a converted oxygenate product comprising C5+ hydrocarbons; e) withdrawing from the one or more conversion reactors the converted oxygenate product; f) determining at outlet of the one or more conversion reactors amount of the one or more unconverted oxygenate compounds in the withdrawn converted oxygenate product; g) separating the converted oxygenate product into a C4− hydrocarbon fraction, a fraction with the C5+ hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range and a fraction comprising water and the one or more unconverted oxygenate compounds, wherein the inlet temperature of the one or more feed streams in step b is continuously adjusted to maintain a constant amount of the one or more unconverted oxygenate compounds as determined in step f.
Abstract:
A method in which flue gas or exhaust gas containing harmful carbon monoxide, organic compounds (VOC) and NOx is contacted with a layered catalyst. A first layer of the catalyst comprises an oxidation catalyst. An underlying layer of the catalyst comprises a NH3-SCR catalyst for the simultaneous removal of the carbon monoxide and NOx.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of dimethyl ether product by catalytic conversion of synthesis gas to dimethyl ether comprising the steps of contacting a stream of synthesis gas comprising carbon dioxide in a dimethyl ether synthesis step in one or more reactors and with one or more catalysts active in the formation of methanol and dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether and forming a product mixture comprising dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide and unconverted synthesis gas; cooling and separating the product mixture into a first liquid phase comprising dimethyl ether and carbon dioxide being dissolved in the formed dimethyl ether, and into a first gaseous phase comprising unconverted synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; passing the first liquid phase to a scrubbing zone and contacting the phase with a liquid sorbent being effective in absorption of carbon dioxide; and withdrawing a dimethyl ether product being depleted in carbon dioxide from the scrubbing zone.
Abstract:
A method for cleaning a sulphur dioxide containing off-gas by selective oxidation of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds in the off-gas with reduced formation of sulphur trioxide comprising the step of contacting the off-gas with an oxidation catalyst consisting of palladium and vanadium oxide supported on a carrier.
