Abstract
The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for producing synthesis gas () by steam reforming, in which nitrogen is separated off from a starting material () containing hydrocarbons and nitrogen in order to produce a low-nitrogen feed () for a burner-fired steam reformer (D), with formation of a hydrocarbon-containing residual gas () which subsequently serves as fuel (). Nitrogen is separated off adsorptively (N) from the starting material and the hydrocarbon-containing residual gas () is used for firing the steam reformer (D).
