Partial methane

The overall process for producing a 1 1 CO to ratio by partial methane oxidation and the water gas shift reaction is represented by equation 5. 

Partial methane oxidation comprises very high rates so that high space-time yields can be achieved (see original citations in [3]). Residence times are in the range of a few milliseconds. Based on this and other information, it is believed that syngas facilities can be far smaller and less costly in investment than reforming plants. Industrial partial oxidation plants are on the market, as e.g. provided by the Syntroleum Corporation (Tulsa, OK, USA). Requirements for such processes are operation at elevated pressure, to meet the downstream process requirements, and autothermal operation.
