The present invention is a method of hydromethanating a carbonaceous feedstock into a methane-enriched synthesis gas, for example, to assist in thermal management within a hydromethanation reactor, to provide an oxygen-rich gas stream and a carbonaceous feedstock. Is fed to the fluidized bed hydromethanation reactor, and the carbonaceous feedstock fed to the hydromethanation reactor has an increased moisture content, watering the carbonaceous feedstock to the methane enriched synthesis gas. The present invention relates to a method for methanation. |
