The present invention relates to a system and process for preparing aromatics from syngases, which has advantages of shortened flow process and reduced investment. The process comprises reforming the liquefied gas, separated dry gas with a water steam to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which return, as raw materials, to the aromatization system, so that the problem of by-product utilization is solved, and the syngas unit consumption per ton of aromatic products is reduced. The problem of utilization of a dry gas as a by-product is also solved in the present invention from the perspective of recycling economy, which reduces the water consumption in the process, and conforms to the concept of green chemistry.

Systems and methods are provided for improving thermal management and/or efficiency of reaction systems including a reverse flow reactor for performance of at least one endothermic reaction and at least one supplemental exothermic reaction. The supplemental exothermic reaction can be performed in the recuperation zone of the reverse flow reactor system. By integrating the supplemental exothermic reaction into the recuperation zone, the heat generated from the supplemental exothermic reaction can be absorbed by heat transfer surfaces in the recuperation zone. The adsorbed heat can then be used to heat at least one of the fuel and the oxidant for the combustion reaction performed during regeneration, thus reducing the amount of combustion that is needed to achieve a desired temperature profile at the end of the regeneration step.

An integrated process for converting light hydrocarbon gases into products. Pre-packaged equipment such as a gas turbine and process compressors may be used to efficiently integrate the process. The gas turbine may provide all or a portion of the oxygen required in the process as compressed air. The turbine may be configured with a gradual oxidizer that can oxidize the process tail gas and drive the turbine, providing power for the process.
