SMR Hydrogen Plant Hydrogen Generation via Steam Methane Reforming
Technology
Ally Hi-Tech provides SMR (steam methane reforming ) technology for
small- to large-scale hydrogen plant for hydrogen generation. SMR
is an economical way for hydrogen production. By using internal
pressure swing adsorption technology to purify the hydrogen, higher
purity can be achieved.
During the steam reforming process, the desulfurized hydrocarbon
feedstock (NG, refinery tail gas, liquefied petroleum gas or
naphtha) is preheated, blended with steam. And then the mixture is
pre-reformed before passing the catalyst in the environment of the
top-fired steam reformer to produce hydrogen, carbon monoxide (CO)
and carbon dioxide (CO2). CO is turned into other hydrogen and CO2
by steam, and then hydrogen is separated by pressure swing
adsorption.
Features of SMR Hydrogen Plant
Ally's SMR technology enables flexible use of raw materials and it
can be applied to the lowest operating costs (OPEX), the highest
efficiency and the lowest total life cycle costs are optimized.
Different levels of modularization and standardization can be
applied to meet project requirements. Maximum availability and
reliability have top priority in all system concepts. Here,
customers benefit from LPG's extensive operating experience with
its large fleet of steam reforming systems.
For smaller hydrogen capacities, the Ally Hi-Tech's SMR offers a
highly modular and standardized approach with compact layouts.
Performance of SMR Hydrogen Plant
| S/N | Name | Index |
| 1 | Feedstock | Natural gas, LPG |
| 2 | Hydrogen Capacity | 50 to 50,000 Nm3/h |
| 3 | Hydrogen Pressure | Typically 15 barg; up to 30 barg |
| 4 | Hydrogen Purity | Typically 99.99 vol.%; up to 99.9999 vol.% |
Application of SMR plant
This scale SMR hydrogen plant is dedicatedly developed for the
small-scale hydrogen demand, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals,
floating glass, hydrogen filling stations.
