Separation and purification systems

REFORMING PROCESS

The reforming phase is combined with low-temperature and high-temperature water-shear reaction. In an adiabatic reactor with a catalyst, the initial hydrocarbon feedstock is converted into synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). In the water-shear reaction CO is converted into CO2 and additional hydrogen is produced. Methane conversion is 99.3%

Desulphurisation

To provide long service life, high system efficiency, and avoid deactivation of the reforming catalyst, the hydrocarbon feedstock is desulfurized before the reforming phase

PROX (PREFERENTIAL OXIDATION)

At this phase, under the influence of oxygen, full oxidation of CO into CO2 is occurred

PRODUCT HYDROGEN PURIFICATION STAGE

At this stage hydrogen is separated from impurities - methane residues, CO, CO2, water vapor, oxygen. The purification stage is necessary to eliminate the risk of fuel elements poisoning by CO and CO2 impurities. According to the All-Union State Standard R 55466-2013/ISO/TS 14687-2:2008 the purity of the hydrogen fuel for fuel cells has to be more than 99,99%.

Two solutions can be integrated into the hydrogen generation unit: short-cycle adsorption or membrane separation.

HYDROGEN FUEL CELL POWER GENERATION
