Synthesis gas production by partial oxidation
Abstract
Abstract IN A HIGH PRESSURE SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATING PROCESS, CONTINUOUS CONTROL OF THE PH IN THE SYSTEM MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DETERMINIG THE NITROGEN IN THE PRIMARY HYDROCARBON FUEL AND OXYGEN-ENRICHED GAS FED TO THE GENERATOR, SUPPLEMENTING SAID NITROGEN WITH A CONTROLLED AMOUNT OF NITROGEN IN THE FORM OF NITROGEN CONTAINING COMPOUNDS, SYNTHESIZING AMMONIA IN THE SYSTEM, AND CONTINUOUSLY NEUTRALIZING ALL OR A PORTION OF THE FORMIC ACID PRODUCED IN THE SYSTEM WITH THE AMMONIA SYNTHESIZED IN THE SYSTEM AND WITH ADDITIONS OF SUPPLEMENTAL AMMONIA FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE. CARBON-STEEL PROCESS EQUIPMENT AND PIPING IS THEREBY PROTECTED FROM COROSION AND SYSTEM UPSETTING EMULSIONS ARE PREVENTED FROM FORMING IN THE CARBON RECOVERY ZONE.
