Abstract The present invention specifies a process and a
plant for production of a synthesis gas
stream which makes it possible to produce the synthesis gas
stream with a
stoichiometry number suitable for the
methanol synthesis or other syntheses. To this end an electrolytically produced
hydrogen stream is admixed with a
hydrocarbon-containing input gas stream and the resulting
hydrogen-containing and
hydrocarbon-containing input gas stream is reacted in the presence of
oxygen to afford synthesis gas in a reforming step. The process mode according to the invention has the
advantage that the electrolytically produced
hydrogen stream need not be treated, in particular no
oxygen need be removed from the electrolytically produced hydrogen stream. The invention further comprises a process and a
plant for production of
methanol comprising the process according to the invention and the
plant according to the invention for production of the synthesis gas stream. (Figure 3) 20 23 20 61 95 2 0 Ju l 2 02 3 Abstract 2023 The present invention specifies a process and a plant for production of a synthesis gas stream which makes it possible to produce the synthesis gas stream with a
