TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING - Preferred Components: The power is converted to electrical power, where at least a portion of the electrical power is used to satisfy at least a portion of an electrical power load required to produce the synthetic natural gas. The system further comprises: a saturator for contacting the cooled raw syngas with at least a portion of the second liquid to produce a saturated syngas; a purification unit for treating the cooled raw syngas prior to methanating the cooled raw syngas, where the purification unit comprises at least one of a carbon monoxide shift converter, carbonyl sulfide hydrolysis unit, an ammonia scrubber, a particulate control device, and a saturator; and a pipeline for transporting at least a portion of the synthetic natural gas.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The method further comprises: converting at least a portion of any carbon monoxide in the cooled raw syngas to carbon dioxide prior to methanating the cooled raw syngas; contacting the cooled raw syngas with at least a portion of the second liquid to produce a saturated syngas, where the saturated syngas is cooled; and flash separating the waste water with the first liquid to produce the gaseous product and the second liquid. The step of purifying the cooled raw syngas comprises hydrolytically treating the cooled raw syngas to produce a syngas lean in carbonyl sulfide, and scrubbing the syngas lean in carbonyl sulfide to produce a waste water comprising ammonia and the treated syngas. Preferred Components: The steam is at a temperature of 450 degrees C or more and a pressure of 4000 kPa or more. The raw syngas comprises 1 (preferably at least 3) mol.% or more of methane. The synthetic natural gas comprises 85-100 mol.% of methane. The gaseous product comprises ammonia and gasifying the ammonia produces nitrogen and hydrogen. The second steam product is at a temperature of 450 degrees C or more and a pressure of 4000 kPa or more. EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
