Abstract:
1. A process for manufacturing hydrocarbonaceous products from a methane-containing feedstock in a GTL facility comprising at least one furnace generating reduced CO 2 emissions, the process comprising: a) forming syngas from a methane-containing feedstock by means of a partial oxidation reaction using a gaseous oxidant comprising molecular oxygen; b) converting the syngas into C c) separating the C d) reforming the naphtha to produce a by-product hydrogen-containing gas stream; e) recovering a hydrogen rich gas stream from at least one of the syngas and the by-product hydrogen-containing gas stream or combinations thereof; and f) using a hydrogen rich fuel comprising the hydrogen rich gas stream and the unreacted gas in at least one furnace in the GTL facility to reduce CO
