A process for producing syngas that uses the syngas product from an oxygen-fired reformer to provide all necessary heating duties, which eliminates the need for a fired heater. Without the flue gas stream leaving a fired heater, all of the carbon dioxide produced by the reforming process is concentrated in the high-pressure syngas stream, allowing essentially complete carbon dioxide capture.

Process for H2 and syngas production

Pressure swing adsorption process for reducing fluctuations in the flow rate of tail gas from the adsorption unit and reducing fluctuations in the stoichiometric oxidant flow rate required to completely combust the tail gas in a reformer furnace. Constant flow rate and constant fuel property can be obtained by intelligent mixing designs.
