Description:

Stricter environmental emissions regulations and increased processing of heavier and more sour crude oil fractions are causing hydrogen (H2) demand to grow across the refining industry. Costs associated with new H2 plant construction have been escalating, so refiners are increasingly looking for low capital cost retrofit solutions that can expand H2 production capacity at their existing facilities. This paper will discuss Praxair’s patented Oxygen Enhanced Reforming (OER) technology which can efficiently and reliably expand H2 plant production capacity by enriching the SMR combustion air with oxygen. An OER retrofit can be installed at a low capital investment with a quick turnaround and minimal plant downtime.
