Systems and processes for producing one or more products from syngas are provided. A feedstock can be gasified in the presence of an oxidant to provide a syngas comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen. At least a portion of the syngas can be combusted to provide an exhaust gas. At least a portion of the exhaust gas can be introduced to a channel having one or more reaction zones at least partially disposed therein, wherein the one or more reaction zones are in indirect heat exchange with the exhaust gas, wherein the one or more reaction zones comprises one or more catalyst-containing tubes. A reactant can be reacted in at least one of the one or more reaction zones to provide one or more reactor products. |

STRAIT, RICHARD B. (Singapore, SG) |
| Claim: |
1) A process for producing one or more products from syngas comprising: gasifying a feedstock in the presence of an oxidant to provide a syngas comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen; combusting at least a portion of the syngas to provide an exhaust gas; introducing at least a portion of the exhaust gas to a channel having one or more reaction zones at least partially disposed therein, wherein the one or more reaction zones are in indirect heat exchange with the exhaust gas, and wherein the one or more reaction zones comprises one or more catalyst-containing tubes; and reacting a reactant in at least one of the one or more reaction zones to provide one or more reactor products. |
| Claim: |
2) The process of claim 1, wherein the reaction is endothermic and heat from the exhaust gas is used to provide heat to the reaction. |
| Claim: |
3) The process of claim 1, wherein the reaction is exothermic and the exhaust gas removes the heat of reaction. |
| Claim: |
4) The process of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the syngas is introduced to at least one of the reaction zones to provide methanol, alkyl formates, dimethyl ether, ammonia, Fischer-Tropsch products, methane, derivatives thereof, or combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
5) The process of claim 1, wherein the syngas is combusted in a combustion turbine. |
| Claim: |
6) The process of claim 1, wherein two or more reaction zones are at least partially disposed within the channel, and wherein the two or more reaction zones are arranged in parallel fluid communication, serial fluid communication, or a combination thereof. |
| Claim: |
7) The process of claim 1, wherein the catalyst comprises iron, ruthenium, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium, platinum, copper, zinc, cadmium, aluminum, oxides thereof, derivatives thereof, or combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
8) The process of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more catalyst-containing tubes comprises straight tubes, U-tubes, coiled tubes, bayonet tubes, surface enhanced tubes, or a combination thereof. |
| Claim: |
9) The process of claim 1, wherein the feedstock comprises biomass, coal, oil shale, coke, tar, asphaltenes, low ash polymers, no ash polymers, hydrocarbon-based polymeric materials, biomass derived material, by-product derived material from manufacturing operations, derivatives thereof, or combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
10) The process of claim 1, wherein the reactant comprises hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, alkenes, alkanes, aromatics, or combinations thereof. |
| Claim: |
11) A process for producing one or more products from syngas comprising: combining one or more feedstocks and one or more oxidants in a fluidized reaction zone to provide a syngas; combusting at least a portion of the syngas to provide an exhaust gas; introducing at least a portion of the exhaust gas to a channel having one or more reaction zones and one or more heat exchange zones at least partially disposed therein, wherein the one or more reaction zones and one or more heat exchange zones are in indirect heat exchange with the turbine exhaust gas, wherein the one or more reaction zones comprises one or more catalyst-containing tubes; and reacting at least a portion of a reactant in at least one of the one or more reaction zones to provide one or more products. |
| Claim: |
12) The process of claim 11, wherein the fluidized reaction zone is operated at a temperature of from 550° C. to 1,050° C. |
| Claim: |
13) The process of claim 11, wherein the syngas is combusted in a combustion turbine. |
| Claim: |
14) The process of claim 11, wherein the reaction is endothermic and heat from the exhaust gas is used to provide heat to the reaction. |
| Claim: |
15) The process of claim 11, wherein the reaction is exothermic and the exhaust gas removes the heat of reaction. |
| Claim: |
16) A system for producing one or more products from syngas comprising: one or more gasifiers operated at conditions sufficient to convert a feedstock in the presence of an oxidant to syngas; a combustor adapted to combust at least a portion of the syngas to provide an exhaust gas; and one or more channels in fluid communication with the exhaust gas, each channel comprising one or more reactors and one or more heat exchangers, wherein the exhaust gas transfers heat between the one or more reactors and one or more heat exchangers; at least one of the reactors comprises one or more catalyst-containing tubes; and the one or more reactors are adapted to convert at least a portion of a reactant to one or more products. |
| Claim: |
17) The system of claim 16, wherein the combustor is a combustion turbine. |
| Claim: |
18) The system of claim 17, wherein the combustion turbine is part of an integrated gasification combined cycle process. |
| Claim: |
19) The system of claim 16, wherein the exhaust gas transfers heat from the one or more reactors to the one or more heat exchangers. |
| Claim: |
20) The system of claim 16, wherein the exhaust gas transfers heat to the one or more reactors from the one or more heat exchangers. |
