Report Abstract
This report approaches the Syngas (Synthesis Gas) production from natural gas via a combined reforming process. In the steam reformer, the natural gas reacts with steam and, in the secondary (autothermal) reformer, it reacts with oxygen. The economic analysis provided assumes a plant constructed in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Syngas production and related Syngas production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Syngas production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Syngas plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Syngas plant operating costs (Opex).
The Syngas production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Syngas plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Syngas plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Syngas. Synthesis Gas is a gas mixture mainly composed of carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H2). It is a raw material for the production of various products, such as methanol, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, dimethyl ether, oxo alcohols and many other chemicals. Syngas may be produced from both fossil sources (e.g. coal, petroleum or natural gas) and renewable materials, such as biomass or wood. Synthesis gas is produced industrially via different routes including steam methane reforming, partial oxidation, and dry reforming. Its composition can significantly vary from the production method used.
Raw Material
Natural Gas. Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon found in porous subsurface geologic formations. It is composed mainly of methane, but also contains varying amounts of higher hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. Additionally, natural gas may also include non-hydrocarbon components considered impurities such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Natural gas is primarily used as a source of heat energy for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It may also be used in the production of important chemicals such as ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen.
