  • Publication number: 20080237090
    Abstract: Olefins can impose deleterious effect on hydrocarbon reforming processes used to generate hydrogen-enriched gas, and thus are converted into saturated compounds. Since the hydrogenation process to convert the olefins into saturated compound, difficulties arise in attempting to regulate the temperature of the hydrogenation. To facilitate temperature regulation, the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a shell-tube reactor, containing catalyst-filled tubes, which is operated under isothermal or essentially isothermal conditions. Preferably, the heat exchange medium introduced into the shell side of the reactor to regulate the hydrogenation temperature is boiling water.

  • Publication number: 20070284287
    Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for generating at least two types of steam having different purities in steam reforming processes in which at least two steam reforming units (steam reformers) (are operated in parallel. The first steam stream having a higher purity than that of the second steam stream. The steam reformers operated in parallel are combined to form groups of at least two steam reformers (groups) within which the high purity steam is generated in one of the steam reformers by vaporization of degassed and demineralized water and low purity steam is generated in at least one of the other steam reformers by vaporization of degassed impurity-containing water (dirty water). The dirty water is formed at least in part from the condensate (process condensate) produced within a group, and is predominantly made up of water.

  • Publication number: 20070245630
    Abstract: Carbon monoxide is generated carbon monoxide, in a conversion stage (DR), from a hydrocarbon-containing feed (1, 2), and also steam and/or carbon dioxide (CO2), resulting in the formation of a carbon monoxide (CO)—, hydrogen (H2)— and methane (CH4)-containing synthesis gas (3). The synthesis gas is subsequently fed to a fractionation device (Z) for separating off at least one hydrogen-rich fraction (7, 9) and one methane-rich fraction (10) and also a carbon monoxide product (6). The methane-rich fraction (10) separated off in the fractionation device (Z) is recirculated as feed (M feed) upstream of the conversion stage (DR).
