Durable Hydrogen Production Plant, SMR Hydrogen Plant Easy
Maintenance
Steam methane reforming (SMR) associated with the PSA purification
technology is the most economical and environmental and robust
process for the hydrogen generation worldwide. It dominates the
hydrogen demand in worldwide.
The feedstock, kindly sort of light hydrocarbons, such as natural
gas or LPG or naphtha, is desulphurized and mixed with steam and
converted into the syngas in the presence of Ni-based [nickel]
catalyst. Then, a heat recovery system [section] is used to recover
high-quality heat from the syngas and generate the process steam.
Subsequently, the cooled syngas is fed to a CO-shift converter
where the CO reacts with the steam and is converted into the CO2
and extra hydrogen. The resulting gas is further cooled down to the
ambient temperature, and then a PSA unit is used to purify the
hydrogen to a desirable purity.
Please refer to the following diagram as the typical block
schematic for SMR.
Features of SMR Plant
• Design for a long lifetime.
• High reliability.
• High quality and safety standard
• High operation automation
• Prefabrication in skid or modules [less than 1,000 Nm3/h]
• Easy maintenance and accessibility
Additional Features of SMR Plant
Extra burn system could be offered while outsource steam is
unavailable.
Steam could be exported if required.
The scope of supply is flexible.
International standards and certificates could be applicable if
required.
