Patent

CA 2439773

Disclosed is a new process and apparatus for steam reforming of any vaporizable hydrocarbon to produce H2 and CO2, with minimal CO, and no CO in the H2 stream, using a membrane steam reforming (MSR) reactor and flame-less distributed combustion (FDC) which provides great improvements in heat exchange efficiency and load following capabilities to drive the steam reforming reaction. The invention also pertains to a zero emission hybrid power system wherein the produced hydrogen is used to power a high-pressure internally manifolded molten carbonate fuel cell. In addition, the design of the FDC-MSR powered fuel cell makes it possible to capture good concentrations of CO2 for sequestration or use in other processes.

L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé et un appareil de vaporeformage de tout hydrocarbure vaporisable afin de produire H¿2? et CO¿2?, avec une quantité minimale de CO et pas de CO dans le flux H¿2?, en utilisant un réacteur de vaporeformage à membrane (MSR) et une combustion répartie sans flammes (FDC) qui améliore considérablement l'efficacité de l'échange thermique et les capacités de suivi de charge afin de mener la réaction de vaporeformage. L'invention concerne également un système de puissance hybride et sans émissions dans lequel l'hydrogène produit sert à fournir de l'énergie à une pile à combustible à carbonate en fusion sous haute pression réglé de manière interne. De plus, la conception de la pile à combustible alimentée en FDC-MSR permet de capturer de bonnes concentrations de CO¿2? en vue de les retenir ou de les utiliser dans d'autres procédés.
