Title: Process for preparing carbon monoxide, carbon disulfide, sulfur, ethylene and acetylene from well gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6077799

A method for preparing chemical products directly from well gas at the wellhead site comprises effecting a pressure interchange between high-pressure well gas and low-pressure hydrogen in a first wave reactor. Subsequently the well gas is reacted in a second wave reactor by using the formed high-pressure hydrogen as the driver gas in the second reactor. After reaction, within the second reactor, through a shock, high-pressure, high-temperature, rapid-quench mechanism a high-pressure product stream is removed from the second reactor, which can be easily liquefied and separated into its various components. This high-pressure product stream can also contain some admixed hydrogen which can be separated and recycled to the first wave reactor. (1 claim)
