Conversion of synthesis gas to methanol and generation of aromatic compounds through aromatization
The method and apparatus convert CO and CO2 into aromatic compounds via methanol synthesis and aromatization, addressing the limitations of existing aromatic complexes by increasing the production of benzene and para-xylene, especially from bio-based feedstocks.

Abstract
A method for converting hydrocarbon feedstock is disclosed, in which a first hydrocarbon feedstock (2) is processed in particular by a fractionation train (4-7), a xylene separation unit (10), and an isomerization unit (11); a pyrolysis unit (13) or an oxygen combustion or gasification unit (14) processes a second hydrocarbon feedstock (30) to produce a synthesis gas (32) containing CO and CO2; a methanol synthesis reaction section (50) processes the synthesis gas to produce methanol (51); and an aromatization reaction section (56) processes the methanol at least partially to produce a hydrocarbon effluent (57) containing aromatic compounds, which is then supplied to the hydrocarbon feedstock.
