  • Method and arrangement for heat energy recovery in systems comprising at least one reformer
    Patent number: 10900384
    Abstract: A method of heat energy recovery in installations including at least one reformer, wherein, for the purpose of heat energy recovery, process condensate is preheated and/or evaporated on a cooling section of the installation by heat exchange with gas generated in the installation, in particular synthesis gas, wherein, prior to being preheated in a flue gas duct of the installation, combustion air is preheated by heat exchange by means of boiler feed water. The invention also relates to a heat energy recovery system for the implementation of the method.
