Abstract
This invention relates to a process and apparatus for the production of pure hydrogen by steam reforming. The process integrates the steam reforming and shift reaction to produce pure hydrogen with minimal production of CO and virtually no CO in the hydrogen stream, provides for COcapture for sequestration, employs a steam reforming membrane reactor, and is powered by heat from the convection section of a heater.
