Abstract (en)

Method for converting a first gas mixture comprising hydrocarbons to a product gas mixture with a lower Wobbe index than the first gas mixture, comprising the steps of (i) providing the first gas mixture, (ii) providing a second gas mixture comprising hydrocarbons, (iii) providing a third gas mixture comprising oxygen, (iv) carrying the second and the third gas mixture into a chemical reactor configured to produce a fourth gas mixture comprising carbon dioxide gas, and (v) carrying the fourth gas mixture into the first gas mixture, thus obtaining the product gas mixture, and apparatus for converting a gas mixture comprising hydrocarbons in accordance with this method.
