Syngas Production Cost Report

Syngas or synthesis gas is a combined mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in various ratios that is combustible and can be used as a fuel. It is mainly used as a domestic and industrial fuel. It has various advantages when used in gas engines like generating renewable power, converting waste material into useful fuels, more economical onsite power generation, lesser transmission losses as well as reduced carbon emissions. It is also used in ceramic fuel cells and molten carbonate to produce electricity. Furthermore, it is used as a feedstock for producing numerous chemicals which have an H: C ratio greater than syngas.

Its demand is expected to grow as the focus is being shifted to lowering the usage of petroleum products as fuels and making syngas an excellent option for energy-sustainable developments. In addition, it finds application in other industries, including its use in electricity generation from turbines, as fertilizers and pressurizing agents; in plastic products like nylon & polyurethane; manufacturing of adhesives, paints, resins, pharmaceuticals, and fuels; and in the chemical industry.

Syngas as a fuel in industries have many advantages, like lesser transmission losses, more economical power generation, and reduced carbon emissions, etc.  Additionally, the availability and cost of production of syngas's feedstock (wood, vacuum residue, natural gas, etc.), syngas market prices, environmental regulations, storage, handling, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, etc., are some of the elements that influence an industrial syngas procurement.

Raw Material for Syngas Production

According to the Syngas manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Syngas production include Wood; Vacuum Residue; Natural Gas; Methane; Fuel Oil; Coal.

Manufacturing Process of Syngas

The extensive Syngas production cost report consists of these major industrial manufacturing processes:

  • Production from Wood: This method of production of syngas involves the process of gasification in a gasifier. When oxygen and steam come into direct touch with wood in a high temperature/high-pressure tank, a sequence of chemical processes take place that transform the feed into syngas.
  • Production from Vacuum Residue: This process involves producing syngas from vacuum residue, which is a product settled at the bottom during the vacuum distillation of crude oil (vacuum distillation is a subtype of fractional distillation where the process occurs under reduced pressure, which is particularly useful for separating heavier fractions of crude oil at lower temperatures to prevent thermal degradation.). In the non-catalytic partial oxidation process, vacuum residue is partially combusted with oxygen in a high-temperature environment without the use of catalysts. This results in the production of syngas, which typically requires further purification due to the presence of impurities and soot from the heavy feedstock.
  • Production from Natural Gas: Syngas production is very endothermic; thus, high temperatures are required. Natural gas is steam reformed using tabular reactors that are externally heated. Nickel is used in this process as a catalyst, acting as a resistor against the harsh conditions of the process. Together with the proportions of H2/CO, it creates syngas.
  • Production from Methane (Via Autothermal Refining): Autothermal reforming (ATR) of methane is a process that integrates methane steam reforming and partial oxidation in a single reactor. In ATR, methane is mixed with oxygen and steam at high temperatures. This mixture is then ignited to initiate a sub-stoichiometric combustion, providing the necessary heat for the subsequent steam and CO2 reforming reactions within the same reactor. This process is highly efficient for large-scale syngas production, particularly suitable for applications in gas-to-liquids technologies and the synthesis of chemicals like methanol and ammonia.
  • Production from Fuel Oil: This process is used to produce syngas from heavy hydrocarbons like deasphalter pitch and petroleum coke. The feedstock is pre-heated and then mixed with oxygen within a burner. After ignition, the reactions occur inside a high-temperature combustion chamber, typically between 1200-1400°C. The process outputs a syngas that requires cooling and cleaning to remove impurities.
  • Production from Coal: This method of production of syngas involves the process of gasification in a gasifier. In a gasifier, coal or another feed material is directly exposed to steam and oxygen at high temperatures and pressures. This causes a sequence of chemical reactions that transforms the feed into syngas mineral residues.

Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a useful gas that comprises hydrogen and carbon monoxide along with small amounts of hydrocarbons, methane, and carbon dioxide. Usually, it is derived from feedstocks and contains carbons like natural gas, biomass, heavy oil as well as coal. It usually differs from gases chemically as it is made at low temperatures via gasification processes, including fluidized bed reactors. The gas is flammable, and its composition is methane (40%–75%), Carbon dioxide (15%–60%), Nitrogen (0%–5%), Moisture (1%–5%), Hydrogen sulphide (0–5000 ppm), Ammonia (0–500 ppm), and traces of hydrogen.
