NOVELTY - Producing methanol by producing oxygen; heating a hydrocarbon feed stream; exothermically reacting a first portion of the heated hydrocarbon feed stream to produce an exothermically generated syngas product; endothermically reforming a second portion of the hydrocarbon feed stream to produce an endothermically-reformed syngas product; combining the products; producing steam; separating water from the cooled combined syngas; passing to a methanol plant; and combining methanol plant combustible effluent with methane fuel.    USE - The method and system are useful for producing methanol (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method and system are highly improved.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing methanol comprises: producing oxygen in an air separation plant with air compressors driven by a gas turbine; heating a hydrocarbon feed stream using exhaust from the gas turbine; exothermically reacting a first portion of the heated hydrocarbon feed stream with at least one of steam or an oxidant gas comprising molecular oxygen to produce an exothermically generated syngas product; endothermically reforming a second portion of the hydrocarbon feed stream with steam over a catalyst in a heat exchange reformer to produce an endothermically-reformed syngas product, where at least a portion of heat used in generation of the endothermically-reformed syngas product is obtained by recovering heat from the exothermically-generated syngas product and the endothermically reformed syngas product; combining the exothermically generated syngas product and the endothermically-reformed syngas product to produce a combined syngas stream; producing steam in a waste heat boiler by cooling the combined syngas stream; separating water from the cooled combined syngas to produce a methanol plant feed at substantially reaction loop pressure; after separating water, passing the cooled combined syngas to a methanol plant; and combining methanol plant combustible effluent with methane fuel to the gas turbine. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is a system for producing methanol, comprising: an air separation plant that produces oxygen using air compressors driven by a gas turbine; a fired heater that heats a hydrocarbon feed stream using exhaust from the gas turbine; a partial oxidation reactor (POX) or an autothermal reforming reactor (ATR) that exothermically reacts a first portion of the heated hydrocarbon feed stream with at least one of steam or an oxidant gas comprising molecular oxygen to produce an exothermically generated syngas product; a gas-heated catalytic reformer (GHR) that endothermically reforms a second portion of the hydrocarbon feed stream with steam over a catalyst in a heat exchange reformer to produce an endothermically-reformed syngas product and combines the exothermically generated syngas product and the endothermically-reformed syngas product to produce a combined syngas stream, where at least a portion of heat used in generation of the endothermically-reformed syngas product is obtained by recovering heat from the exothermically-generated syngas product and the endothermically reformed syngas product; a waste heat boiler that produces steam in a waste heat boiler by cooling the combined syngas stream; separation unit that separates water from the cooled combined syngas to produce a methanol plant feed at substantially reaction loop pressure; after separating water, a first conduit that passes the cooled combined syngas to a methanol plant; and a second conduit that combines methanol plant combustible effluent with methane fuel to the gas turbine.
