Objective
The aim of the project is to demonstrate the technical and economical feasibility of producing 130 MT/day carbon monoxide from a combined feed of 35 MT/day methane and 130 MT/day waste carbon dioxide supplied from the adjacent Shell industrial complex by the innovative SPARG technology. This technology will minimise the methane consumption (is energy) and maximise the utilisation of the contaminated waste carbon dioxide stream. A preconverter converts hydrocarbon contaminants in the impure imported carbon dioxide feed. This is necessary to protect the catalyst in this reformer. Such a preconverter has never been demonstrated on an industrial scale.

This technology will minimise the methane consumption (is energy) and maximise the utilisation of the contaminated waste carbon dioxide stream. Conversion of the methane/waste carbon dioxide feedstock to carbon monoxide is achieved by an innovative reforming process through externally heated catalyst beds. The SPARG process (Sulphar Passivated Reforming) is utilised. If traditional technology would have to be applied, the production rate of the plant would drop from 130 MT/day to approx. 90 MT/day carbon monoxide.
By operating with very low steam to carbon ratio and importing carbon dioxide, the plant will produce synthesis gas product with an H2/CO ratio of 0,7. The best H2/CO ratio previously achieved was approx. 1.2. This lower ratio is a major advantage for total efficiency of the process.
A preconverter converts hydrocarbon contaminants in the impure imported carbon dioxide feed. This is necessary to protect the catalyst in this reformer. Such a preconverter has never been demonstrated on an industrial scale.
