Water-to-hydrogen ratio at the inlet of the hydrogen production converter
Thread Content
Gentlemen, what is the purpose of controlling the water-to-hydrogen ratio at the inlet of the conversion furnace during the startup of a natural gas-based hydrogen production plant?
Water vapor acts as the oxidizing agent, while hydrogen serves as the reducing agent. Controlling the water-to-hydrogen ratio means placing the catalyst in a reducing atmosphere, thereby inducing a reduction reaction in the catalyst.
Ensure the catalyst is in a reduced state
