Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming step using an autothermal reformer (ATR) thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH4, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O; shifting said synthesis gas in a shift configuration including a high temperature shift step; passing the shifted syngas to a first hydrogen purification unit, e.g. a PSA unit; passing a portion of the off-gas from the first hydrogen purification unit to a second hydrogen purification unit, and using off-gas from the first and second hydrogen purification unit as e.g. fuel for a preheater unit before the ATR.

Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed in an autothermal reformer thereby obtaining a syngas; shifting said syngas in a shift configuration including a high temperature shift step; removal of CO2 in a CO2-removal section by amine wash thereby forming a hydrogen rich stream, a portion of which is used as low carbon hydrogen fuel, as well as a CO2-rich gas and a high-pressure flash gas stream. The high-pressure flash gas stream is advantageously integrated into the plant and process for further improving carbon capture.

Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas and improved carbon capture are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed by optional prereforming, autothermal reforming (ATR), yet no primary reforming, thereby obtaining a synthesis gas; shifting said synthesis gas in a shift section including a high temperature shift step; removal of CO2 upstream hydrogen purification unit, thereby producing a hydrogen rich stream and an off-gas stream, and where at least part of the off-gas stream is recycled to the process, thus to the ATR and optional prereforming, and/or to the shift section.

Abstract: A process and plant for producing a high purity CO2 product, comprising: providing a CO2-rich stream containing hydrocarbons, hydrogen and/or CO, combining it with a stream rich in methane (CH4), and mixing it with oxygen, thereby forming a CO2/O2- mixture; subjecting the CO2/O2- mixture to a catalytic oxidation step, thereby producing a purified stream having a higher CO2 and/or H2O concentration; removing H2O from said purified stream, for producing said high purity CO2 product stream. The CO2-rich stream is for instance derived from the CO2-removal section of a plant for producing hydrogen.

Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming step thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH4, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O; shifting said synthesis gas in a shift configuration including a high temperature shift step; removal of CO2 upstream hydrogen purification unit, such as a pressure swing adsorption unit (PSA), and recycling off-gas from hydrogen purification unit and mix it with natural gas upstream prereformer feed preheater, prereformer, reformer feed preheater or ATR or shift as feed for the process.

Abstract: A method for increasing the carbon utilisation of a synthesis gas plant is provided, as well as a synthesis gas plant arranged to perform said method. Various gas streams can be combined and recycled to allow for efficient use of a natural gas feedstock.
