Low OPEX Advanced Hydrogen Generation Unit By Steam Methane Reforming

Advanced Hydrogen Production Plant by Steam Methane Reforming​

Ally Hi-Tech has rich experiences in the hydrogen energy field and is specialized in hydrogen generation. Steam methane reforming technology is one of Ally Hi-Tech's core technology. More than 80 SMR hydrogen units are serving around the world.

Principle

The principle of SMR technology is as follows:

After compression and desulfurization, natural gas, the feedstock of this hydrogen production process, reacts with steam in the presence of catalysts. We can use this chemical formula to describe this reaction more clearly.

Step 1: CH4+H2O→3H2+CO -Q

By this reaction, a lot of heat will be released and we use an economizer to collect the heat.

Next, the syngas enters the shifter and the carbon monoxide will be changed into carbon dioxide.

Step 2: CO+H2O→H2+CO2 +Q

In the end, after the purification of the PSA system, high purity product hydrogen will be collected in the tank.
