The Shell Gasification Process (SGP) is a partial oxidation process that converts a hydrocarbon feedstock into synthesis gas (CO + H2), according to the following general scheme: Cn Hm + n / 2 O2 ® n CO + m / 2 H2
This transformation is the result of a large number of reactions, the main ones of which are described below.
Complete combustion of part of the hydrocarbon charge leads to the formation of CO2 and H2O : Cn Hm + (n + m / 4) O2 ® n CO2 + m / 2 H2O
This reaction is highly exothermic, exentropic and complete. It enables the temperature required for the...
