Hydrogen by Steam Reforming
With the HC process, high-purity hydrogen is produced by steam reforming of a hydrocarbon combined with a PSA purification step. The feed is mixed with a split stream of hydrogen and then preheated In the heat exchanger prior to passing a sulfur removal. The feed is then mixed with superheated steam. Whilst passing the catalyst in the reformer tubes, the mixture of water vapor and feed is converted into syngas consisting of H2, CO, CO2, H2O, and CH4.

The hot syngas passes the heat exchanger in which the main part of sensible heat is utilized, thus adjusting the temperature of the syngas for the subsequent CO-shift. In the cooler following the CO-shift, the syngas is cooled to ambient temperatures, whilst simultaneously water vapor is condensed and subsequently separated. The syngas now passes the molecular sieve PSA purification unit where the H2 is isolated to the specified purity. The reformer is fired by a high-velocity burner which burns fuel and tail gas.
