Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is proposed for providing an oxygen-containing gas stream for the endothermic reaction of an initial stream comprising one or more hydrocarbons, having a predetermined oxygen concentration and a predetermined temperature, wherein a fluid fuel stream is combusted with a primary air stream at λ values of the primary air stream to the fluid fuel stream of from 0.6 to 1.2 to obtain a combustion gas stream, and a secondary air stream is admixed to the combustion gas stream to obtain the oxygen-containing gas stream for the endothermic reaction, with the predetermined oxygen concentration and the predetermined temperature of the oxygen-containing gas stream being adjusted via the flow rate and the temperature of the secondary air stream.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising reacting an initial stream comprising one or more hydrocarbons with an oxygen-containing gas stream, to form a product stream, wherein: the oxygen-containing gas stream has a predetermined oxygen concentration and a predetermined temperature; the oxygen-containing gas stream is obtained by combusting a fluid fuel stream with a primary air stream, such that λ values of the primary air stream to the fluid fuel stream range from 0.6 to 1…
