AM-10-141 Additional Hydrogen Production by Heat Exchange Steam Reforming

Description:

Many refiners are in need of additional hydrogen in order to process more feed or lower quality crude. During the past 20 years, Haldor Topsøe has developed a number of steam reforming technologies that can be implemented for additional new hydrogen plant capacity, as well as an add-on to an existing hydrogen plant to provide additional hydrogen capacity. These technologies are based on heat exchange steam reforming and are characterised by efficient heat transfer, resulting in feed and fuel savings of up to 20%, compared to a traditional box type hydrogen plant. Haldor Topsøe has licensed more than 40 hydrogen plants with heat exchange reforming technologies.
