  • GEOMETRY OF A CATALYTIC REACTOR COMBINING GOOD MECHANICAL STRENGTH AND GOOD FLUID DISTRIBUTION
    Publication number: 20160317990
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compact catalytic reactor comprising at least three plates with at least one area of millimetric channels on each plate, promoting heat exchange, and at least one distribution area upstream and/or downstream of the area of millimetric channels, the channels being separated by walls. The distribution areas are characterized by: the discontinuity of the walls along the distribution area on the side of the inflow of gaseous flows or on the side of the outflow thereof; and the increase in the width of the walls along the distribution area on the side of the inflow of gaseous flows or on the side of the outflow thereof.

  • Method for producing hydrogen with reduced COemissions
    Patent number: 9028794
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen, with reduced carbon dioxide emissions, from a hydrocarbon mixture. In said method, the hydrocarbon mixture is reformed so as to produce a synthetic gas that is cooled, then treated in a shift reactor so as to be enriched with H2 and CO2. Optionally dried, said mixture is treated in a PSA hydrogen purification unit in order to produce hydrogen. The residue is treated by means of partial condensation with a view to capturing CO4 before said residue is sent as fuel to reforming.

  • Method for the production of hydrogen combined with carbon dioxide capture
    Patent number: 8852456
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the combined production of hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon mixture, in which the hydrocarbon mixture is reformed to produce a syngas which is cooled, then enriched with H2 and CO2, optionally dried, and treated in a PSA hydrogen purification unit to produce hydrogen, the PSA offgas being treated to capture the CO2 and to supply an offgas. This offgas is again treated to supply a stream enriched with H2 and CO2 which is returned to the PSA, where it constitutes a second feed distinct from the main feed.
