Oxy-fuel refers to technology that burns pure oxygen with gaseous fuel. As compared to air, which contains 20.95% oxygen, higher temperatures can be reached using pure oxygen. Approximately the same total energy is produced when burning a fuel with oxygen as compared to with air; the difference is the lack of temperature-diluting inert gases. The most common fuel burned in a torch with oxygen is acetylene; even though it presents special handling problems, it has the greatest heat output. The process has also been proposed as a method of capturing carbon dioxide from coal-fired electric power plants because the output flue gases from combustion in oxygen as opposed to air have a higher carbon dioxide content fraction. See Oxy-fuel combustion process.
Syngas and liquid hydrocarbons are produced from synthesis gas. The synthesis gas is produced from a feed mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The feed mixture is heated to the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor inlet temperature of 1400 to 1800°F or even more preferred to a RWGS reactor inlet temperature of 1550 to 1650°F. Some of the heat required to heat the feed mixture to the RWGS inlet temperature is supplied by the oxyfuel combustion of hydrogen or fuel with oxygen and minimizes the load onto electrical heaters or need for gas fired geaters. The high inlet temperature allows a high conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. Various fuels can be used including hydrogen, hydrocarbons, oxygenates, or carbon monoxide can be used as combustion fuel. The carbon monoxide produced can further be reacted with hydrogen to produce hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals. The hydrocarbon fuels produced include sustainable aviation fuel (SAP) that meets ASTM D7566 specification and diesel fuel that meets ASTM D975 specification. The hydrogen and oxygen are produced from the electrolysis of water. The carbon dioxide can be captured from industrial point sources such as power plants, ethanol plants, steel mills, or other producers of carbon dioxide. Alternatively, the carbon dioxide can be captured from the atmosphere.
The present invention provides a system and a process for the production of methane, C2-C100 linear alkanes, C2-C10 olefins, oxygenates, methanol and combinations thereof, comprising: an oxyfuel combustor comprising a combustion gas outlet, and a first fluid entrance; a heat recoverysystem; a carbon capturing unit comprising an adsorption column which comprises a combustion gas inlet in fluid communication with the combustion gas outlet of the oxyfuel combustor, and a feed gas inlet; a desorption column; one or more methanol synthesis reactors; wherein the adsorption column comprises a base portion and a top portion; the adsorption column extends a height from the base portion to the top portion; the base portion corresponds to one half of the height of the adsorption column; the feed gas inlet and the combustion gas inlet are located in the base portion; and the feed gas inlet is located above the combustion gas inlet in the base portion.
