Hydrogen production process and apparatus using a combined stream of gas turbine exhaust from a gas turbine and combustion air from forced draft fan as combustion oxidant in a steam reforming furnace. A valve assembly for providing draft air is included to quickly provide additional combustion air to the reformer furnace when the gas turbine unexpectedly shuts down.

Hydrogen production system and process

Method for removing dissolved gases from water to produce boiler feed water in a catalytic steam reforming process where boiler feed water is heated by indirect heat transfer with a reformate stream and/or a combustion product gas stream and the boiler feed water subsequently flash vaporized to form steam and residual liquid water, where the steam formed by flash vaporization strips the dissolved gases from the water.

Removal of dissolved gases for boiler feed water preparation

The present invention is a tunnel freezer which employs two distinct chambers for crust freezing the bottom surfaces of items to be processed without substantially refrigerating the remainder of the items. In this manner, the product is made ready for transfer to downstream operations without worry of sticking to belt surfaces. The present invention has application in setting the bottom surface of food items such as cookies, bakery items, caramel coated candies, taffy and the like.

Dual chamber tunnel freezer

Method and apparatus for rapidly crust or through freezing a particle by simultaneously moving the particle through a bath of cryogenic liquid and exposing the particle or portions of the particle not submerged in the liquid to a spray of the cryogenic liquid.
