Abstract: Thermodynamic investigations using exergy on processes of catalytic high-temperature conversion of natural gas with water (I), high-temperature conversion of natural gas with oxygen (II), and mazut steam-oxygen gasification (III) have been carried out for the purpose of finding an energy optimization criterion for chemical systems that is unaffected by side effects, initial raw materials, and end products. Of the processes investigated, process II has beem found to have the highest thermodynamic efficiency. The conversion of fuel gas was more efficient than mazut gasification. Our results may be used for technical and economic evaluations of the processes.
