HYDROGEN GENERATION UNIT

Capacity

of 38000 tonnes per annum (TPA)

Producing

99.99% pure hydrogen

Hydrogen

is generated in this unit by steam

reforming of naphtha employing M/s LINDES

technology.
Hydrogen

is consumed in Hydrocracker unit.

HYDROGEN GENERATION UNIT

PROCESS:

1. Desulphurization.
2. Steam Reforming.
3. CO Shift Conversion.
4. Recovery of Waste Heat.
5. Pressure Swing Adsorption Unit (PSA).

(PSA).
The

filled

PSA system consist of 10 adsorbers,

with

activated

alumina,

carbon and molecular sieves.

Steps:

1. Adsorption
2. Depressurization
3. Purging
4. Pressurization

Pressure Swing Adsorption Unit

(PSA).
86%
The

of hydrogen is recovered by the PSA.

PSA process is based on the selective

adsorption of impurities on an adsorbentat high

pressure
followed

by regeneration of the adsorbent by

desorption at low pressure.

There

is no change in temperature, except for

that caused by the heat of adsorption and

desorption.
