Abstract

The invention relates to a process for producing a converted synthesis gas from a crude synthesis gas comprising the essential synthesis gas constituents of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO), wherein the crude synthesis gas is initially generated in a synthesis gas generation stage and subsequently converted in a multi-stage CO conversion and thus elevated in terms of its hydrogen content. The crude synthesis gas has steam added to it as a reaction partner for the CO conversion and cooling of the converted synthesis gas affords an aqueous condensate.
