A steam-hydrocarbon reforming process utilizing a prereformer where a portion of the effluent from the prereformer is conditioned and the C2+ hydrocarbon content in the conditioned effluent measured. The molar flow rate of steam to the prereformer is increased or decreased responsive to measuring the C2+ hydrocarbon content of the conditioned effluent.

Steam-hydrocarbon reforming process

Process for producing a hydrogen-containing product and one or more liquid water products using catalytic steam-hydrocarbon reforming. In the process, a portion of the make-up water is heated by the reformate and another portion of the make-up water is heated by the combustion product gas prior to introducing the make-up water to a deaerator. Water in the combustion product gas is condensed to form a liquid water product. The process may be integrated with a thermal water desalination process.

Integrated process for the production of hydrogen and water

A process for producing a H-containing product gas and purified water from an integrated catalytic steam-hydrocarbon reforming and thermal water purification process. Raw water, such as salt water, is heated by indirect heat transfer with reformate from the catalytic steam reforming process for purifying raw water in one of a multiple effect distillation process and a multi-stage flash process.

Water purification using energy from a steam-hydrocarbon reforming process

A steam-hydrocarbon reforming process generating a process gas containing a first amount of heat and a flue gas containing a second amount of heat includes: providing a water heater, a boiler feed water (BFW) preparation system, a boiler, and a BFW heater; feeding water to the water heater; feeding water to the BFW preparation system from the water heater; feeding a first stream of water to the boiler from the BFW preparation system; feeding a second stream of water from the BFW preparation system to the BFW heater; heating at least part of the second stream of water fed to the BFW heater with a first part of the first amount of heat; heating water in the boiler with a second part of the first amount of heat; generating steam at 5-60 psig in the boiler; and heating the BFW preparation system or another internal system with the steam.
