【3D Process Flow】--POX (Partial Oxidation) Process

【3D Process Flow】Summary Post – Useful for learning about the process flow: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-5711616-1-1.html ---------------------------------------------------------- The POX (partial oxidation) process is an important technology in the petroleum refining industry, primarily used for producing syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). This process achieves partial oxidation under high temperature and pressure by controlling the ratio of oxygen to hydrocarbons. The POX process uses heavy oil, residue, or coal as raw materials, which react with oxygen and steam in a gasifier to produce syngas primarily composed of CO and H2. This syngas can be used to manufacture ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, or as a feedstock for synthetic fuels. Compared to conventional steam reforming, the POX process can handle heavier feedstocks and is not restricted by sulfur content, but it has higher investment and operating costs.
