“…Autothermal reforming (ATR) is typically performed by dosing CH 4 , O 2 and H 2 O at 1200 K and 30 atm. 22 Steam is typically added in both POX and ATR with catalytic POX typically operating at low H 2 O/CH 4 ratio from 0 to 1, whereas ATR operates at relatively higher steam loads (H 2 O/CH 4 > 1). 23 The ideal H 2 /CO ratio of 2 can be considered necessary for FT synthesis.…”

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is obtained as a waste via burning various forms of fuels. Syngas is an intermediate in large-scale long-chain hydrocarbon (C 10 − C 20 alkanes and alcohols) production processes via Fischer− Tropsch (FT) synthesis, typically to obtain high quality fuels. Thus, it is of particular interest to engineer syngas production processes for FT that can consume various combustion process waste CO 2 in the process and thus partially contribute to the sustainable carbon neutral fuel synthesis. In this work, a quantitative economic comparison of five alternative processes is presented for the production of synthesis gas with a hydrogento-carbon monoxide ratio of 2, which is suitable for feeding to the Fischer−Tropsch gas-to-liquid process. Combinations of steam methane reforming (SMR), dry methane reforming (DMR), autothermal reforming (ATR) and reverse water gas shift (RWGS) are explored. An amine absorber/stripper system is used for carbon dioxide removal. The effects of the cost of natural gas and of liquid oxygen and the magnitude of a potential carbon tax are demonstrated. With current prices of raw materials, the configuration with the lowest total annual cost (TAC) features a system composed of both SMR and DMR reactors.

Decreasing supplies of high quality crude oil and increasing demand for high quality distillates have motivated the interest in converting natural gas to liquid fuels, especially with the present boom in natural gas proven reserves. Nevertheless, one major issue is the curtailment of costs incurred in producing synthesis gas from natural gas, which account for approximately 60% of the costs used in producing liquid fuels. While there are three main routes to convert natural gas to syngas: steam reforming (SMR), partial Oxidation (POX) and auto-thermal reforming (ATR). Significant new developments and improvements in these technologies, established innovative processes to minimize greenhouse gases emission, minimize energy consumption, enhance syngas processes, adjust the desired H2/CO ratio and change the baseline economics. This article reviews the state of the art for the reforming of natural gas to synthesis gas taking into consideration all the new innovations in both processes and catalysis.

“…The H 2 /CO molar ratio of 2 is ideal for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. The POX reaction rate is faster than SMR and requires shorter residence times [12]. As a consequence, the gas hourly space velocities are higher and the capital cost and production scale to achieve large capacity are lower [13].…”
