Report Abstract
This report presents the economics of Syngas production in the United States via a typical non-catalytic partial oxidation process. In the process under analysis, the bottom product of a vacuum distillation unit, known as vacuums residue, is used as feedstock.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Syngas production and related Syngas production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Syngas production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Syngas plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Syngas plant operating costs (Opex).
The Syngas production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Syngas plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Syngas plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Synthesis Gas. Synthesis Gas (or syngas) is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, used as a precursor for producing ammonia, methanol, and synthetic fuels. It serves as a foundation for many industrial chemical reactions, particularly in gas-to-liquid technologies. Syngas is produced through gasification or steam reforming of hydrocarbons and is stored as a gas. It plays a central role in Fischer-Tropsch processes, allowing the conversion of gas into liquid hydrocarbons for fuel and chemical production.
Raw Material
Vacuum Gas Oil. Gas oils refers to oil fractions, from straight-run and cracked origins, whose boiling points range between kerosene and lubricating oil boiling points. Such petroleum distillation products are primarily used as automative fuels and heating fuels. Vacuum gas oil (VGO), specifically, is a more viscous gas oil fraction, which boils between about 420 °C and 570°C. It is obtained from a vacuum crude distillation unit, operating at low, negative gauge pressure.
