Natural Gas Hydrogen Production Unit

Product Overview
The Natural Gas Hydrogen Production Unit is based on natural gas reforming technology and optimized for efficient, low-cost hydrogen production. With enhancements to the traditional process, including an improved core reformer structure, the unit reduces both investment and natural gas consumption, achieving notable emissions reduction. Supported by multiple patented technologies, it features a compact design suitable for various gas feedstocks, meeting hydrogen supply needs across industries like energy and manufacturing.

Key Features

• Mature Technology: Proven process with years of safe, reliable, and easy-to-operate application.
• Low Operating Cost: Reduces natural gas consumption by approximately one-third, lowering operational costs and ensuring a short investment payback period.
• Environmentally Friendly and Low Emissions: Utilizes low-nitrogen emissions technology and PSA tail gas recycling, meeting environmental standards and reducing waste gas emissions.
• Innovative Cylindrical Furnace Structure: Enhanced cylindrical furnace design simplifies the structure and increases system reliability.
• Highly Integrated Design: Skid-mounted for compact installation, reducing space requirements and construction time.
• Multi-Feedstock Compatibility: Can utilize natural gas, biogas, LPG, and light naphtha, offering operational flexibility.

Process Flow
Natural gas or other feedstocks are desulfurized and mixed with steam before entering a specialized reformer, where they undergo reforming reactions with catalysts to produce a gas mixture of H₂, CO₂, CO, and other components. This reformate gas undergoes heat recovery and shift reactions to further convert into hydrogen. The hydrogen is then purified using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology, and PSA tail gas is recycled to the reformer for combustion, recovering heat efficiently.

Application Areas

• Industrial Hydrogen Production: Suitable for large-scale hydrogen needs in industries like chemical manufacturing and metallurgy.
• Clean Energy: Supplies hydrogen for fuel cells and other clean energy applications.
• Multi-Feedstock Hydrogen System: Ideal for distributed energy sites and hydrogen production from various raw materials.
