Abstract
A process for the production of an oxygenated organic product, such as methanol, from a feedstock containing carbon, comprising the steps of: (a) gasifying the feedstock with high purity oxygen to obtain a raw synthesis gas stream comprising methane, hydrogen, and carbon oxides; (b) mixing the raw synthesis gas stream with a hydrogen-rich gas stream to form a final synthesis gas stream; (c) injecting the final synthesis gas stream into a synthesis loop, forming the oxygenated organic product in the loop and extracting from the loop a purge gas stream; (d) separating the purge gas cryogenically to form the hydrogen-rich gas stream, an argon-rich gas stream, and a methane-rich gas stream; and (e) recycling the hydrogen-rich gas stream to step (b).
