Abstract: A method to limit the deposition of metals from a syngas stream on a gas turbine comprising the steps of feeding the syngas stream to a pressure swing adsorption vessel of a pressure swing adsorption system, the syngas stream comprises carbonyls, the pressure swing adsorption vessel configured to perform a pressure swing adsorption cycle: adsorbing the carbonyls on a carbonyl selective adsorbent, leaving a turbine feed stream, reducing the pressure of the pressure swing adsorption vessel to a purge pressure less than the adsorbing pressure, purging the carbonyls from the carbonyl adsorbed adsorbent to create a tail gas stream, re-pressurizing the regenerated carbonyl adsorbent to the adsorbing pressure, feeding the tail gas stream to an incinerator configured to oxidize the carbonyls in the tail gas stream to metal oxides and carbon dioxide, and feeding the turbine feed stream to the gas turbine.

Abstract: A method of hydrogen recovery in refineries and petrochemical operations in which some or all of the feed streams for separate PSA units are combined and utilized as feed for a single PSA unit, and in which some or all of steam reformer product and refinery offgas streams being used as feed streams for separate PSA units are combined and utilized as feed for a single PSA unit. Total hydrogen recovery is increased by maximizing hydrogen recovery from refinery offgases. The load on the steam reformer is reduced by lowering the reformer feed stream. Refinery fuel gas consumption is reduced in the steam reformer furnace. The amount of a PSA feed stream being burned as fuel or sent to flare is reduced. The load on the PSA unit receiving feed from refinery offgases is reduced. The hydrocarbon content and heating value of the tail gas from the PSA unit fed by the steam reformer product stream is enriched.
