What should be considered when producing hydrogen from propane?
Thread Content
For catalytic dry gas hydrogen production units, when the amount of dry gas available in the plant is insufficient, propane is used as a supplementary feedstock at a rate of about one ton per hour. What precautions should be taken when using it?
The temperature and volume changes that occur when liquid propane is heated and converted to a gas state, in order to prevent leaks in the heat exchanger. Another thing is the calculation of the water-to-carbon ratio
Attention should be paid to the formation of carbon deposits during the conversion process; due to the high carbon content in propane, carbon deposits form more easily than with methane.
