Gas generation The generation of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and synthesis gas can be carried out with different proven Linde processes depending on the feedstock and the products.

Besides steam reforming in Linde's own steam reformer furnaces and partial oxidation based on the Texaco process, gas generation is also possible with the tandem reformer or by using the CO shift conversion reactor.

Steam Reforming

Generation of synthesis gas from light hydrocarbons and steam

Partial Oxidation

Generation of synthesis gas from heavy hydrocarbon and oxygen

Tandem Reforming

Generation of synthesis gas through a combination of steam reforming and partial oxidation

CO Conversion

Generation of hydrogen from carbon monoxide and steam

Isothermal Reactor

The specially developed Linde isothermal reactor is an ideal fixed-bed reactor for the isothermal conversion of synthesis gases.
