And a portion of the resulting carbon dioxide and hydrogen is removed from the syngas stream exiting the feedstock reformer to obtain a reduced hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane syngas stream. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide are passed through a Fischer-Tropsch reactor catalyzed to produce methanol. Methanol produced in the Fischer-Tropsch reactor is passed with reduced hydrogen syngas through a second Fischer-Tropsch reactor catalyzed to produce ethanol. Also without limitation, a unique catalyst, a method for controlling the content of syngas formed in a feedstock reformer, and a feedstock handling system are disclosed.n n n n Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Syngas, Fischer-Tropsch |
