The reason for the decrease in yield in hydrogen production is the use of a mixture of coker dry gas and natural gas as raw materials

Natural gas consists of lighter components, with methane being the predominant one; compounds with more than two carbon atoms are present in small amounts. As a result, little hydrogen is produced. Since there are more compounds with more than two carbon atoms in the dry gas, more hydrogen is generated
It may be related to the composition of natural gas; generally, for reference purposes, a methane content of over 96% in natural gas is required for a more stable yield. The decrease in yield may be related to the methane content; a component analysis can be conducted.
