STEAM METHANE REFORMING

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the ProCeas® gas analyzer, a new generation of gas analyzers designed for steam methane reforming (SMR) processes, primarily used for hydrogen production. It highlights the analyzer's accuracy, low detection limits, absence of cross interferences, fast response time, and low maintenance requirements.

ProCeas® Gas Analyzer Technologies
The ProCeas® utilizes Optical Feedback Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (OFCEAS) and Low Pressure Sampling. This patented laser-based technology allows for the measurement of gases at parts per billion (ppb) levels with high accuracy and repeatability. The combination of OFCEAS and low-pressure sampling enhances gas selectivity and eliminates cross interferences, even in hydrocarbon matrices. The analyzer can measure H2S below 10 ppb in natural gas and CO and H2S below 1 ppb in hydrogen. It features self-calibration, eliminating zero and span drift over time, and requires minimal maintenance.

Gas Control in Steam Methane Reforming
Steam methane reforming is an industrial process where methane reacts with steam in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Gas analysis is crucial for controlling and protecting the SMR process. Sulfur compounds, particularly H2S, must be removed from the hydrocarbon feed to maintain process efficiency. H2S levels are measured before and after desulfurization. At the process's end, gas contaminants are controlled to ensure hydrogen purity.

ProCeas® Gas Analyzer for SMR
The ProCeas® is a pre-calibrated laser infrared spectrometer capable of single or multicomponent analysis (H2S, CO, CH4, H2O, CO2, etc.). Key features include no cross-interferences, high sensitivity, low detection levels (ppb), no zero or span drift, no regular calibration requirement, multigas analysis capability, fast response time, low sampled volume, low fouling, and availability of ATEX enclosures.

WHAT ARE THE GASES YOU NEED TO CONTROL IN STEAIVI METHANE REFORMING PROCESS? Steam methane reforming, or SMR, is an industriai process uuhere methane from naturai gas reacts uuith pressurized steam in presence of a catalyst, in order to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. SMR is the main technique to produce hydrogen.Gas analysis plays an important roie in order to controi and protect the SMR production. At the beginning of the process, the hydrocarbon feed needs to be purified from suifur compounds, as H2S affects the efficiency of the process.Therefore, H2S content is measured in naturai...
