Synthesis gas (syngas) is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It is produced from methane (natural gas) as an intermediate step in the production of basic chemicals like methanol, ammonia, and oxo-alcohols. Carbon dioxide is produced in the syngas reaction and must be removed before further catalytic conversion of Carbon monoxide and Hydrogen can proceed toward the desired chemical. Depending on which basic chemical is to be produced, the H2/CO syngas ratio may need to be adjusted
