Abstract

A process and to an apparatus for the generation and separation of a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A process for the generation and separation of syngas comprising:
a) generating a syngas from a first portion of methane-rich feedstock gas in a syngas generation unit, the syngas comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and less than 2.3% methane;
b) purifying the syngas by at least one treatment process to produce a purified syngas;
c) separating the syngas by cryogenic distillation in a cryogenic distillation plant comprising at least one column for scru…
