Model as conversion reactor Model as equilibrium reactor.Sulfur compounds converted to H2S & adsorbed in ZnO bed.
Small temperature increase 500 - 800F depending on technology. 700F most typical.Typically up to 725 psi (50 bar)
Reformer 1450 - 1650F exit 1500F 20 - 30 atm (295 - 440 psia)Equilibirium Gibbs reactor with 20F approach (for design).
Model as equilibrium reactor. 850-1000F (455-540C) inlet1470-1615F (800-880C) outlet
650 - 700F entrance for HTS + LTS 660F entrance 940F (504C) inlet500 - 535F entrance when no LTSEquilibirium Gibbs reactor Fixed 90% CO conversionAll components inert except CO, H2O, CO2, & H2.400 - 450F entrance 400F entranceEquilibirium Gibbs reactor 480-525F (249-274C) outletAll components inert except CO, H2O, CO2, & H2.
Fixed 90% CO conversion
Methanation 500 - 550F entranceEquilibirium Gibbs reactorAll components inert except CH4, CO, H2O, CO2, & H2.
Amine Purification Model as component splitter Model as component splitter MDEA circulation, duty, & work estimates from GPSA Data Book
Treated gas 10 - 15F increase, 5 - 10 psi decrease, water saturated
Treated gas 100F & 230 psi (16 bar) exit
Rejected CO2 atmospheric pressure & water saturated
95% CO2 recoveryPSA Model as component splitter Model as component splitter
100F entrance 90% H2 recovered 75 - 85% recovery for "reasonable" capital costs (higher requires more beds)
H2 purity as high as 99.999% H2 contains 0.001% product stream as contaminant
200 - 400 psig feed pressure for refinery applications4:1 minimum feed:purge gas ratio. Purge gas typically 2 - 5 psig.
