Seeking advice on hydrocarbon purification issues
Thread Content
Our company uses the hydrogen produced as a by-product of the isobutane dehydrogenation unit as a hydrogen source for hydrogenation processes in chemical plants. However, since the hydrogen contains trace amounts of hydrocarbons, this has an impact on the hydrogenation process. What are some effective methods for removing these hydrocarbons? How effective is activated carbon adsorption? The hydrogen flow rate is approximately 10,000 Nm3/h, with a pressure of 1.1 MPa.
Hydrogen can be purified using pressure swing adsorption or membrane separation.
