  • Integration of a closed loop supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle in a steam methane reformer
    Patent number: 9067785
    Abstract: An integrated reforming and power generation process is provided. This process employs a steam methane reformer to provide a hot process gas stream and a flue gas stream, utilizes the hot process gas stream to provide heat to produce a total steam stream comprising a process steam stream and an excess steam stream, and utilizes the flue gas stream to provide heat to at least a pre-reformer mixture stream, a reformer feed stream, the process steam stream and a pre-reformer steam stream The flue gas stream also provides heat to an integrated power generation process, and the excess steam stream is less than 15% of the total steam stream.
    Type: Grant
