METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A SYNTHESIS GAS USING AN OXYGEN TRANSPORT MEMBRANE BASED REFORMING SYSTEM WITH SECONDARY REFORMING Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC C01B3/38 C01B13/02 B01J19/24 

FIELD: membrane reactors.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method and system for producing a synthesis gas in an oxygen transport membrane based reforming system. Method comprises the steps of: (I) reforming a combined feed stream comprising a hydrocarbon containing feed stream and steam in the presence of heat in a reforming reactor; (II) feeding the reformed synthesis gas stream to a reactant side of a reactively driven and catalyst containing oxygen transport membrane reactor; (III) reacting a portion of the reformed synthesis gas stream with oxygen permeated through the at least one oxygen transport membrane element; (IV) transferring some of the heat generated as a result of the reaction (I) to the gas in the catalyst containing oxygen transport membrane reactor, (II) by radiation to the reforming reactor, (III) by convection to the oxygen depleted stream; and (V) reforming of the unreformed hydrocarbon gas.

EFFECT: technical result is developing an improved method for producing synthesis gas using an oxygen transport membrane reactively driven system.
