ABSTRACT:
An improved method for the production of stoichiometric ratioed syngas comprises partially oxidizing a gaseous feedstock containing substantial amounts of methane in a gasifier to produce a hot synthesis gas stream that is passed in indirect heat exchange through a steam reforming catalytic reactor. A portion of the steam reforming reaction products are mixed with the cooled gasifier synthesis gas stream exiting the steam reforming catalytic reactor to form a combined synthesis gas stream, called a "stoichiometric ratioed synthesis gas." The stoichiometric ratioed synthesis gas stream can then be passed into a methanol synthesis unit at substantially the specifications for optimal methanol production with little or no external compression. In a second embodiment the gasifier unit is arranged and operated in parallel with a primary steam reformer unit. The respective synthesis gas streams exiting each unit are combined to form a combined synthesis gas stream that undergoes oxidation in a secondary catalytic reformer unit to form a stoichiometric ratioed synthesis gas that requires minimal external compression before being converted to methanol.
