Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing synthesis gas, and more particularly, a method for preparing synthesis gas including: supplying a pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) stream including a PFO and a pyrolysis gas oil (PGO) stream including a PGO discharged from a naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to a distillation tower as a feed stream (S 10 ); and supplying a lower discharge stream from the distillation tower to a combustion chamber for a gasification process to obtain synthesis gas (S 20 ), wherein the PGO stream is supplied to an upper end of the distillation tower and the PFO stream is supplied to a lower end of the distillation tower.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing synthesis gas, the method comprising:
supplying a pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) stream including a PFO and a pyrolysis gas oil (PGO) stream including a PGO discharged from a naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to a distillation tower as a feed stream (S 10 ); and
supplying a lower discharge stream from the distillation tower to a combustion chamber for a gasification process to obtain synthesis gas (S 20 ),
wherein the PGO stream is supplied to an upper stage of the distillation tower and the PFO stream is supplied to a lower stage of the distillation tower.

2. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein the PGO stream is supplied to a stage at 1% to 30%, and
the PFO stream is supplied to a stage at 40% to 80%, relative to the total number of stages of the distillation tower.

3. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a flow rate of the PGO stream to a flow rate of the PFO stream is 0.5 to 2.

4. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a flow rate of an upper discharge stream from the distillation tower to a flow rate of the feed stream supplied to the distillation tower is 0.01 to 0.2.

5. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower has a kinematic viscosity at the time of supply to the combustion chamber of 300 cSt or less, and
wherein the lower discharge stream has a flash point higher than a temperature at the time of supply to the combustion chamber by 25° C. or more.

6. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 , wherein a temperature of the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower at the time of the supply to the combustion chamber is 20° C. to 90° C.

7. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein the PGO stream includes 70 wt % or more of hydrocarbons having 10 to 12 carbon atoms, and
wherein the PFO stream includes 70 wt % or more of hydrocarbons having 13 or more carbon atoms.

8. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein the PGO stream has a flash point of 10 to 50° C., and
wherein the PFO stream has a flash point of 70 to 200° C.

9. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein the PGO stream has a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 1 to 200 cSt, and
wherein the PFO stream has a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 400 to 100,000 cSt.

10. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein the PGO stream is a lower discharge stream discharged from a lower portion of a first stripper after supplying a side discharge stream discharged from a side portion of a gasoline fractionator of the naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to the first stripper, and
wherein the PFO stream is a lower discharge stream discharged from a lower portion of a second stripper after supplying a lower discharge stream discharged from a lower portion of the gasoline fractionator of the naphtha cracking center (NCC) process to the second stripper.

11. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 10 ,
wherein the lower discharge stream from the gasoline fractionator is discharged from a stage at 90% or more relative to the total number of stages of the gasoline fractionator, and
wherein the side discharge stream from the gasoline fractionator is discharged from a stage at 10% to 70% relative to the total number of stages of the gasoline fractionator.

12. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein an upper discharge stream from the distillation tower has a content of hydrocarbons having 10 or more carbon atoms of 15 wt % or less and a content of hydrocarbons having 8 or less carbon atoms of 70 wt % or more, and
wherein the lower discharge stream from the distillation tower has a content of hydrocarbons having 10 or more carbon atoms of 80 wt % or more and a content of hydrocarbons having 8 or less carbon atoms of 5 wt % or less.

13. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 ,
wherein an upper discharge stream from the distillation tower is split into two parts, and one part is refluxed to the distillation tower as a reflux stream and the other part is discharged as an outflow stream, and
wherein a reflux ratio of a flow rate of the reflux stream to a flow rate of the outflow stream is 0.005 to 10.

14. The method for preparing synthesis gas of claim 1 , wherein the synthesis gas includes carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
