Natural gas hydrogen production plant
Thread Content
The current problem is that the hydrogen production unit does not have an oxygen content meter; based on which actual operating parameters can it be ensured that the unit’s energy consumption during operation remains within limits?
Does the workshop not prepare any reports? Are there any unit consumption figures?
Natural gas steam reforming—PSA hydrogen production? ~~The source of oxygen in hydrogen is mainly the raw natural gas, which essentially contains no oxygen; steam is also deoxygenated, so there is virtually no oxygen present in the resulting hydrogen (usually below 1 ppm). However, for monitoring your product quality, it’s best to purchase an online chromatograph to analyze elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. If you have explosion-proof portable oxygen meters, you can conduct regular on-site analyses, though this approach is not very safe~~
Hydrogen production through the steam reforming of hydrocarbons uses natural gas, deionized water, and electricity as the main raw materials; improvements can be made in these areas
The current problem is that the hydrogen production unit does not have an oxygen content meter; based on which actual operating parameters can it be ensured that the unit’s energy consumption during operation remains within limits? Does the converter in the hydrogen production unit not have an oxygen content display? The design should provide for this; there is no need at all for an oxygen content meter in the hydrogen production plant’s process. Hydrogen production is a major energy consumer, primarily due to the consumption of gas; controlling the thermal efficiency of the conversion furnace is key, and attention should also be paid to water consumption.
There are reports, but the data provided is only used for comparing performance within the workshop itself; it’s not clear whether it corresponds to the standards of the industry. Could you provide information on your operational energy consumption? :)
The test results are fine; let’s see if it’s possible to further reduce energy consumption
Our conversion furnace does not have zirconia installed, so it is difficult to determine the extent of any deviations in the air supply to the furnace; adjustments can only be made based on temperature and flame conditions. It seems that the device fails to save energy effectively. I would like to ask if there are any other methods that could be used. Also, could you tell me what range is considered normal for the energy consumption of gas, water, and electricity in a hydrogen production facility?
