Abstract This study investigates the dry reforming of methane (DRM) using solar energy to produce syngas at a pilot-scale level. A combined waste gas stream from a prominent South African petrochemical complex is considered as the system feed. A cryogenic distillation column operated at 30 bar with ceramic Berl saddle packing is found suitable for …
