Description
Steam-Methane Reforming(SMR):
1) A mature production process in which high-temperature steam (700°C-900°C) is used to produce hydrogen from a methane source, such as natural gas. Methane reacts with steam under 8-25 bar pressure (1 bar = 14.5 psi) in the presence of a catalyst to produce H2\CO\CO2. Steam reforming is endothermic-that is,heat must be supplied to the process for the reaction to proceed.Fuel natural gas and PSA off gas are used as fuel.
2) Water-gas shift reaction, the carbon monoxide and steam are reacted using a catalyst to produce carbon dioxide and more hydrogen.
3) In a final process step called "pressure-swin adsorption(PSA)," carbon dioxide and other impurities are removed from the gas stream, leaving essentially pure hydrogen.
