Abstract

A power balancing system and process is provided, in which a first electrolysis unit (10) outputs a first hydrogen rich stream (11), which is converted in a methanol synthesis plant (20) to a first methanol-rich stream (21). A methanol storage unit (40) receives and stores the first methanol-rich stream (21). When additional electrical power is required, methanol from the methanol storage unit (40) can be used for power generation. The system and process allow excess electrical power to be converted into and stored as methanol during periods of low demand, and used to generate electrical power when demand is higher.

Abstract

A process and system are provided for the preparation of syngas and methanol with reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The method comprises dividing a hydrocarbon and steam feed into two streams, one subjected to fuel fired reforming and the other to electrical reforming. At least a portion of the synthesis gas from the electrical reforming is processed in a shift section and a carbon dioxide removal section, producing a hydrogen rich gas and a carbon dioxide rich gas. The hydrogen rich gas is used as fuel in the fuel fired reforming process, reducing the need for hydrocarbon fuel. The system allows for flexible adjustment of process streams and integration with methanol synthesis, enabling significant reductions in natural gas and oxygen consumption and overall carbon dioxide emissions.

Abstract

The invention relates to a process and plant for producing a hydrocarbon product from a renewable hydrocarbonaceous feedstock. The process includes hydroprocessing the renewable hydrocarbonaceous feedstock, which involves conducting the feed stream to a catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) unit to produce a hydrodeoxygenated effluent stream. This stream is then conducted to a hot separator and a cold separator, with portions of the overhead stream recycled back to the catalytic HDO unit. The bottom stream from the hot separator is conducted to a stripper, with the overhead stream combined with the bottom stream from said cold separator. Impurities are removed from the combined stream, and the resulting sour gas stream is conducted to a separator. The bottom stream from the stripper is conducted to a catalytic hydroisomerization (ISOM) unit to produce an isomerized effluent stream, which is then conducted to a cold separator. The hydrocarbon product, such as jet fuel for use as sustainable aviation fuel and/or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), is then separated from the bottom stream of the cold separator.
