Abstract
A method for generating syngas having a H2:CO ratio of less than 2:1 including selecting a predetermined desired syngas H2:CO molar ratio, selecting a hydrocarbon with a natural H2:CO molar ratio less than the desired ratio, selecting a hydrocarbon with a natural H2:CO molar ratio greater than the desired ratio, mixing the two hydrocarbons such that the natural H2:CO molar ratio of the mixture is the desired ratio, and catalytically partially oxidizing the mixture to produce syngas with the desired ratio.
