SYNTHETIC GAS PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C01B3/34 F23D14/12 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is referred to the production process of synthetic gas by hydrocarbon conversion, and namely to processes of oxidative conversion. The synthetic gas is produced at the combustion of a hydrocarbon stock with an oxidiser with the oxidiser excess coefficient less than 1 at a temperature less than 1400 K inside a cavity formed partially or completely by a three-dimensional matrix permeable for the mixture of the gas and oxidiser. Input of the hydrocarbon stock with the oxidiser is made through a permeable bottom of the cavity or through permeable walls and bottom of the cavity, while the output of combustion products is made through the upper cross-section of the cavity. Before input to the cavity the mixture of the gas and oxidiser or one gas of the mixture partially or completely is heated by heat produced by combustion products. The matrix is heated additionally by heat radiation reflected from the screen placed in the matrix cavity and permeable for the combustion products.

EFFECT: increased efficiency due to the increased output of the synthetic gas at the usage of hydrocarbon mixtures with the high content of non-combustible products having a low calorific value.
