Abstract—The performance and viability of Dry Reforming (DR) are important from an environmental perspective due to the increasing problem of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane. This work aims to study an industrial plant based in this mechanism whose reaction consumes two GHGs to produce syngas, the most demanded intermediate product. Similarly, an energy integrated plant scheme is design to avoid the consumption of auxiliary currents using simulation tools such as Aspen Plus®. Different operating temperature scenarios and configurations are suggested to identify the optimal conditions to achieve maximum production. The technologies studied for DR reaction is the micro-reaction technology, as it allows to perform industrial reactions in minimal space. Finally, a validation of the model was carried out with experimental data, determining the accuracy of the results obtained.
