What is described is a method and an installation for the simultaneous
production of methanol synthesis gas, ammonia synthesis gas, carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide from natural gas, in which several plant
elements (or plant units) are serially arranged one by one in one single
production chain, whereat these elements comprise: a first reactor A,
in which the natural gas is transformed under oxygen supply into a
synthesis gas mixture comprised of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
hydrogen and steam (water vapor), a second reactor B, which allows to
control the transformation of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide,
optionally a compressor C for compressing the generated gases, an
absorber D for the absorption of carbon dioxide and for obtaining the
carbon monoxide-hydrogen mixture used for methanol synthesis, a
low-temperature separator E, in which ammonia synthesis gas is obtained
by introducing liquid nitrogen, and in which simultaneously carbon
monoxide, argon and methane are removed.
