Test run with sales gas feed in a traditional H2 plant
A conventional hydrogen (H2) plant in a Middle Eastern refinery was designed to produce 75,000 normal cubed meters per hour (Mnm3/hr) of H2 product with 95% purity with plat offgas feed (platformer offgas mixed with hydrocracker offgas).
Case history: Troubleshooting a leaking valve in a hydrogen unit
A Middle East refinery installed a hydrogen plant that was designed to produce 20,000 Nm3/hr of pure hydrogen (H2) to support a diesel hydrotreater. The unit was commissioned in 2006. This H2 plant wa..
Recover from a steam reformer tube rupture
Most operational problems in the hydrogen plant occur at the steam reformer. The steam reformer is typically operated at high temperatures (810°C process gas) and high pressures (20 atmg) to maxi..
Troubleshooting waste-heat boiler poor heat transfer
Analytical results showed that potash leached from the catalyst, refractory powder, corrosion products and, to a lesser extent, catalyst fines resulted in tube fouling
Improve usage of regenerated refining catalysts
Common-sense guidelines detail when it is beneficial to reuse catalysts
Increase product value through process modeling
Using a rigorous refinery-wide simulation, a refiner moved more low-value products into value-added end products
