Patent

CA 2564848

A hydrogen plant including a fuel reforming plant (10) configured to receive and process hydrocarbon feedstock (12) and configured to discharge wet reformate (20) including a hydrogen-containing gas stream, and a condenser (30) configured to cool the wet reformate (20). The hydrogen plant also includes a water separator (50) configured to receive the cooled wet reformate (20), remove water (52) from the wet reformate, and discharge dry reformate (60). The hydrogen plant further includes a hydrogen purifier (70) configured to receive the dry reformate (60), process the dry reformate (60), and discharge pure or substantially pure hydrogen (72). A supplemental cooling system (90) is provided in the hydrogen plant to cool the wet reformate (20) in addition to the condenser (30).

La présente invention se rapporte à une usine à hydrogène comportant une installation de reformage du carburant conçue pour recevoir et traiter une charge d'alimentation d'hydrocarbures et pour évacuer le réformat humide comportant un flux gazeux contenant de l'hydrogène, ainsi qu'un condenseur conçu pour refroidir le réformat humide. Cette usine à hydrogène comporte également un séparateur d'eau conçu pour recevoir le réformat humide ou refroidi, extraire l'eau de ce réformat humide et évacuer le réformat sec. Cette usine à hydrogène comprend par ailleurs un purificateur d'hydrogène conçu pour recevoir le réformat sec, traiter ce réformat sec et évacuer de l'hydrogène pur ou sensiblement pur. Cette usine à hydrogène comporte un système de refroidissement supplémentaire permettant de refroidir le réformat humide en sus du condenseur.
