Course Description
There has been considerable increase in the hydrogen usage on refineries and this is increasing the importance of the steam reformer. This course starts with the reasons behind the change in emphasis and covers the refinery hydrogen balance.
The role of the steam reformer for the production of both synthesis gas and steam will be discussed. The basic steam reformer design will be reviewed together with the water and steam systems. Feed stocks and feedstock purification topics will be followed by the steam reforming chemistry and steam reforming catalyst. All aspects of reformer metallurgy will be reviewed including monitoring and dealing with tube failures.
This course will cover all of the many catalysts, absorbents and adsorbents used for hydrogen production. In general, these units have long periods of operation between shutdowns and correct catalyst loading and activation procedures must be followed to avoid unintended outages. During the course Process safety and Control will be discussed effectively.
All of the hydrogen purification options viz wash systems, methanation, PSA or membranes are covered in the course. The different designs of steam reformer now in service are covered together with options for up rating.
