Abstract
The invention provides a process for providing a hydrogen stream to a process utilizing hydrogen comprising obtaining a gas stream containing hydrogen and compressing the gas stream to a pressure of at least 600 psig, Then the compressed gas stream is sent to a pressure swing adsorption unit containing a plurality of beds with at least 5 pressure equalization steps to produce a hydrogen stream. The hydrogen stream can then be compressed and sent to a process utilizing hydrogen. The compressed gas stream may be chilled before entering the pressure swing adsorption unit.
