Abstract
The application of partial oxidation in a gas turbine (PO-GT) in the production of synthesis gas for methanol production is explored. In PO-GT, methane is compressed, preheated, partial oxidized and expanded. For the methanol synthesis a 12% gain in thermal efficiency has been calculated for the PO-GT process, while the product cost decrease with 7%. For DME synthesis simular results are achieved. More development on the reactor and turbine are needed to implement this process in the industry.
