Additional Hydrogen Production by Heat Exchange Steam Reforming

摘要

Many refiners are in need of additional hydrogen in order to process more feed or lower qualityrncrude. During the past 20 years, Haldor Tops?e has developed a number of steam reformingrntechnologies that can be implemented for additional new hydrogen plant capacity, as well as anrnadd-on to an existing hydrogen plant to provide additional hydrogen capacity.rnThese technologies are based on heat exchange steam reforming and are characterised byrnefficient heat transfer, resulting in feed and fuel savings of up to 20%, compared to a traditionalrnbox type hydrogen plant. Haldor Tops?e has licensed more than 40 hydrogen plants with heatrnexchange reforming technologies.
