Abstract
The invention relates to a process for producing hydrogen from a light hydrocarbon source, in which a synthesis gas is generated by steam methane reforming after desulfurization and optionally pre-reforming of the feedstock. The synthesis gas is enriched with hydrogen by steam conversion of carbon monoxide, and is subsequently purified in a pressure swing adsorption unit to give a pure Hproduct and a residual gas mixture containing CH, CO, Hand CO; in accordance with the invention, the conversion step is performed in a cooled reactor in which the heat of the conversion reaction is transferred to a fluid which feeds the burners of the reformer, or to the gas for reforming.
