Estimated cost of natural gas-based hydrogen production plant
Thread Content
How much capital is required to build a natural gas hydrogen production plant with a capacity of 12,000 Nm3/h? How much steam can it produce? What is the cost to produce 12,000 Nm3 of hydrogen per hour? The more detailed, the better. Please advise
It’s usually overstated; what’s listed as ten thousand is actually around nine thousand five hundred. But Sichuan is sincere; you can consult them.
Your question involves several specialties within the design firm; it’s best to have a design institute carry out the calculations.
1. Total investment: The approved total investment for the preliminary design is 90 million yuan; after deducting the VAT on equipment and materials amounting to 7.16 million yuan, the total investment includes 300,000 US dollars in foreign currency. Of this amount, 883 million yuan is allocated to project construction, 1.96 million yuan to interest on loans taken during the construction period, and 570,000 yuan to working capital for the start-up phase. 2. Overview of main equipment (including thermal equipment)
Equipment name | Quantity (units)
Reactor | 4
Heating furnace | 1
Tower | 1
Container | 13
Air cooler | 6
Heat exchanger | 8
Compressor | 2
Pump | 2
Fan | 4
Waste heat boiler | 2
Other small equipment | 18
PSA unit | 1 set
3. Consumption indicators
Circulating water: t/h – 85
Boiler feedwater: t/h – 28
Deionized water at 30°C: t/h – 141
Electric power: kW – 220/380V: 71; 6000V: 594
Purified gas: Nm³/h – 200
Steam: t/h – 3.5 MPa: 9; 1.1 MPa: 0.7
Fuel gas: kg/h – 680
Condensate gas: t/h – 6.7
5. Land area
The land area is 60*107 = 6420 m². 6. Plant staffing: The plant operates on a four-shift, three-shift rotation system, with 16 employees assigned to the plant. The data isn’t very precise; I’m just giving a rough estimate, hoping it will be helpful to you.

The project cost is approximately 80 million yuan. The normal steam output is around 5–7 tons per hour at full load, and the natural gas consumption is about 5,000 cubic meters (for both raw materials and fuel)
