2. Intro

3. Basic
• H2 plant is the unit which produce Hydrogen
(H2), as product process reaction between
feed gas (hydrocarbon) from natural gas and
feed steam.
• To get higher conversion in the reformer, as
main reactor, reformer will be continoue wtih
High Temperature Shift Converter (HTSC)
reactor

4. • H2-Plant completed with a Hydrogen
purification unit which named pressure swing
adsorbtion (PSA) and feed treatment unit
• This plant can produce high purity hydrogen
99,9%

5. Raw material
Use natural gas with the composition:
• H2 14,05 % mole dry
• C1 62,28 %
• C2 6,17 %
• C3 7,38 %
• C4 4,56 %
• C5 1,09 %
• H2S 50 ppm
• Berat Molekul : 20,5
And use steam for the reaction

6. The reaction
• CH4 + H2O = CO + 3H2
(reaksi utama, endothermic)
• CO + H2O = CO2 + H2
(reaksi samping, eksotemis, porsi kecil)
Suhu reformer ± 800 oC
