Abstract

This study is focused on the production of syngas using gasification and dry methane reforming (DMR) technologies. The two processes are compared as a standalone design for a syngas production capacity of 10,000 kmol/h with H₂ to CO ratio of 0.88. The two processes are then integrated to develop a novel design that can reduce the CO₂ emissions to a near-zero level with reasonable amount of energy requirement. In this study, Aspen Plus® has been employed as a process simulation tool. The results reveal that the DMR process consumes 3.4 times less energy compared to a gasification plant of same capacity. The result also shows that the integration of gasification and DMR design off-sets the negative aspects of gasification technology enabling it to utilize conventional solid fossil fuel with low emission levels.
