METHOD OF OBTAINING SYNTHETIC GAS FOR PRODUCTION OF HYDROCARBONS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C01B3/32 C01B3/34 C01B3/38 B01J7/00 B01J8/06 B01J3/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: synthetic gas is obtained through catalytic reforming with water vapour of hydrocarbon material in parallel, in an automatic reformer with water vapour and in one or more successive reformers with water vapour. The heat for reforming reaction with water vapour in one or more reformers with water vapour is provided for, through indirect heat exchange with combined gas streams, flowing from one or more reformers with water vapour and the automatic reformer with water vapour. The catalyst in at least one of the reformers with water vapour is granulated or is in form of a catalytic medium. A gas containing carbon oxide is added to the raw material before reforming with water vapour in the automatic reformer with water vapour and/or before reforming water vapour in one or more reformers with water vapour. Gas, containing carbon oxide with ratio of atomic hydrogen to atomic carbon less than 4.5, is added in a quantity which yields a product with molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon oxide lying, approximately, between 1.8 and 2.3.

EFFECT: increased output of synthetic gas.
