Hydrogen balance
Thread Content
At the beginning of operations, some gas-using units required airtightness, while others required vulcanization. Thus, the hydrogen consumption becomes unstable. That hydrogen production unit initially uses a nitrogen cycle; so, is it possible to introduce 5% or less of feed gas into the unit for reaction? To produce hydrogen, I would like to ask experts what harms such a method may cause to the process and PSA operation?
It’s not possible, right? The temperature required for the reaction is very high, and nitrogen isn’t able to remove this heat; as a result, the catalyst will burn out. Devices usually have some operational flexibility, with that range typically being 60% to 110%
This isn’t a problem; it can be resolved by using a high water-to-carbon ratio
With a high water-to-carbon ratio, if your steam enters the medium-pressure conversion stage, will the medium-pressure conversion catalyst work?
As long as it is above the dew point temperature
