Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the production of synthesis gas from a hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein the entire hydrocarbon feed is passed through a radiant furnace, heat exchanger reformer and autothermal reformer in a series arrangement, in which effluent gas from the autothermal reformer is used as heat source for the reforming reactions occurring in the heat exchange reformer and wherein a cooling medium is added to the heat exchange reformer.
