摘要:
A process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock with an oxygen-containing gas, wherein a flow of a feed mixture comprising the hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and the oxygen-containing gas is contacted with a catalyst comprising at least one metal selected from Group VIII of the Periodic Table supported on a catalyst carrier to form a conversion product comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen, wherein the catalyst is retained in a fixed arrangement in a reactor comprising a feed supply chamber which is in fluid communication with the upstream surface of the fixed arrangement, in which process a part of the conversion product formed flows back to the feed supply chamber.

摘要:
A method is presented for stabilizing the flame on the tips of burner internals in a process for preparing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel. The method comprises supplying a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel, a moderator gas and an oxidizer through a burner to a reactor, and adjusting the mass flow of the moderator gas such that the moderator gas concentration does not exceed a predetermined limit. The process conditions are effected such that the flame contacts the burner internal tips. In case of flame-lifting from the burner internal tips, the velocities and mass flows of the fuel and/or oxidizer and/or moderator gas are re-adjusted in such a manner that the flame is restabilized on the burner internal tips.

摘要:
A process for the manufacture of synthesis gas by reacting oxygen-containing gas, applied as oxidizer and gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel in a reaction zone of a non-catalytic gas generator comprising the steps of injecting the said fuel and the said oxidizer into the reaction zone through a multi-orifice (co-annular) burner comprising arrangement of n separate passages or channels coaxial with the longitudinal axis of said burner, wherein n is an integer .gtoreq.2 (2, 3, 4, 5 . . . ) wherein the (n-1).sup.th passage is the inner passage with respect to the n.sup.th passage, measured from the longitudinal axis of the said burner, and wherein gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel and, optionally, a moderator is passed through one or more of the passages, but at least through the n.sup.th (outer) passage whereby at least one passage remains; oxidizer and, optionally, a moderator, is passed through one or more of the remaining passages, but at least through the (n-1).sup.th passage. In any two adjacent passages in which oxidizer is passed through the one passage, and gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel is passed through the other passage, the said oxidizer has a higher velocity than said hydrocarbon-containing fuel.
摘要:
A method for controlling water condensation in the pores of a near wellbore region of a permeable formation through which wet natural gas flows into an inflow section of an oil and/or gas production well, the method comprising controlling fluid transfer through the near wellbore region such that development of a water bank resulting from condensation of water in said region is inhibited or promoted. If the well is a gas production well then development of a water bank may be inhibited by controlling pressure drawdown, cyclic well shut in, fracturing and/or injection of heat generating and/or water transporting chemicals.

Described is a mixing device for mixing a gaseous stream of a fuel and an oxidant that has a cylindrical mixing chamber, means for injecting a gaseous stream of the fuel tangentially along the inner surface of the wall of the mixing chamber, and means for injecting a stream of the oxidant axially along the central longitudinal axis of the mixing chamber, wherein the diameter of the mixing chamber and the dimensions and location of the means for injecting the fuel and the oxidant are such that the tangentially injected stream of the fuel forms a wall jet around the axially injected stream of the oxidant without impinging upon the other stream. A reactor for the partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous fuel containing the mixing device and to a process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous fuel using the mixing device is further described.
