CHEMICALS & REFINERIES
Plasma-Based Syngas for Chemical Manufacturing
Graforce's Methane-Plasmalyzer® produces syngas (H₂ + CO) from methane and carbon dioxide using a fully electric plasma process. The technology supports sustainable chemical production, refinery integration, and synthetic fuel manufacturing.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Sustainable Feedstock for Chemical Production
Syngas is one of the most important feedstocks in the chemical industry. Graforce converts methane and carbon dioxide into hydrogen and carbon monoxide through plasma technology, providing a CO₂-neutral to CO₂-negative alternative to steam methane reforming and gasification.
CO₂ Utilization
Captured CO₂ becomes a valuable feedstock for syngas production.
Fully Electric Process
No external fossil heat is required.
Modular Deployment
Scalable systems for refinery and chemical facilities.
GRAFORCE SOLUTION
Converting Methane & CO₂ into Syngas
Methane is dissociated in a high-temperature plasma reactor into hydrogen and carbon monoxide through plasma conversion. The adjustable gas ratio supports chemical synthesis, refinery integration, and synthetic fuel production.
Process Diagram
Feedstock
Natural gas, biomethane, LNG, LPG, flare gas, or biogas.
Plasma Conversion
Electrical plasmalysis converts CH₄ and CO₂ into syngas.
Adjustable H₂/CO Ratio
Optimize the gas for downstream industrial processes.
Chemical Integration
Support refinery and synthetic fuel production.
APPLICATIONS
Supporting Sustainable Agriculture
The produced syngas can be integrated into multiple industrial processes where hydrogen and carbon monoxide are essential feedstocks. Graforce's technology enables flexible downstream utilization for both chemical manufacturing and refinery operations.
Fischer–Tropsch Fuels
Production of synthetic gasoline and kerosene.
Methanol Production
Syngas as a key chemical feedstock.
Chemical Manufacturing
Supports industrial synthesis processes.
Refinery Integration
Utilizes refinery CO₂ streams for syngas production.
BIOMETHANE PLASMALYSIS
Converting Biomethane into Hydrogen and Solid Carbon
When biomethane is used as the feedstock, methane is separated into hydrogen and solid carbon without process-related CO₂ emissions. This provides an alternative to carbon capture and storage while enabling negative carbon intensity when renewable biomethane is used.
