Syngas Production & Reforming
Oxygen for Renewable Fuels
Hot oxygen burner technology for syngas production and reforming
Linde offers the Hot Oxygen Burner (HOB) technology for syngas production from natural gas and for increasing syngas yield from lower temperature gasifiers by converting residual tars and hydrocarbons present in the raw syngas product. Hot Oxygen Burner technology utilizes a high momentum jet of hot oxygen (>3,600º F) to rapidly and efficiently entrain a feedstock so that it may be partially oxidized to a syngas. The combination of high temperature heat generation and high oxygen concentration allows the Linde HOB-based process to provide high-quality syngas that is predominantly carbon monoxide and hydrogen - a yield much different than when using ambient temperature oxygen. The HOB has been shown to work well with a diverse range of feedstocks and has the added advantages of not requiring steam or a catalyst to achieve high syngas yields.
Oxygen supply
At Linde, we have been designing, building and operating oxygen plants for over a hundred years. Linde offers a full portfolio plant sizes and technologies for oxygen generating plants ranging from a few tons per days to thousands of tons per day. Our technologies cover both cryogenic air separation units (ASU) and non-cryogenic vacuum pressure swing adsorption units (VPSA). Our extensive experience in designing, engineering, constructing and operating oxygen plants in diverse markets and geographies has positioned us well to supply oxygen. Delivery oxygen supports the production of power, clean fuels, and chemicals worldwide. No matter where you’re located, or what you envision, we provide you with a reliable and competitively priced oxygen supply for your gasification and reforming needs.
