摘要
Hydrogen is one a gas that demands continue to grow across many industries. Due to the growth for this gas the means of producing it and the ability to supply this demand is of great importance. As a result of this, steam methane reforming is a process of high significance as it is one of the most economically and popular means of producing hydrogen. The value of this process is tremendous as it is able to provide up to 48% of global demands, with this only predicted to increase. Therefore, the understanding of what occurs during this process and the steps that it experiences must be understood to ensure that an efficient system is created.Steam methane reforming operates by converting the hydrocarbons located in methane into hydrogen and COx. This process will generally occur over two different stages, a reformer stage, before going into a water-gas shift reactor. After these main processes occur the product produced may undergo purification to remove any containments and ensuring that the hydrogen is at the industry standard. To help investigate this process and how various stages affect others it can be modeled through software such as Unisim which allows modifications to be made and analyzed the effect this had on the system, allowing a potential more efficient system to be designed which will help meet the growing demand.
