It presents a techno-economic analysis of Syngas production from heavy fuel oil in the United States using a partial oxidation process. In this process, heavy oil is reacted with oxygen and steam to produce syngas.

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.

Syngas Production Cost Report Process Overview
Product

Syngas. Synthesis Gas is a gas mixture mainly composed of carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H2). It is a raw material for the production of various products, such as methanol, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, dimethyl ether, oxo alcohols and many other chemicals. Syngas may be produced from both fossil sources (e.g. coal, petroleum or natural gas) and renewable materials, such as biomass or wood. Synthesis gas is produced industrially via different routes including steam methane reforming, partial oxidation, and dry reforming. Its composition can significantly vary from the production method used.

Raw Material

Fuel Oil. Fuel Oil is a heavy petroleum product primarily used for power generation, shipping, and industrial heating. It is characterized by its high energy content and viscosity, making it suitable for large-scale combustion processes. Fuel oil is obtained from the residual fractions of crude oil after refining and is stored in tanks as a liquid. It is typically used in low-speed marine engines and industrial boilers, where its slow-burning properties allow for efficient energy transfer over long periods.
