Abstract
A method for the co-production of hydrogen and crude methanol, including; a hydrocarbon processing reforming or gasification process generating a syngas stream comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; introducing at least a portion of the syngas stream to a once-through methanol synthesis reactor: introducing at least a portion of the stream from methanol reactor to a separation device separating this stream into a crude methanol stream and methanol synthesis off gas stream; introducing at least a portion of the methanol synthesis off gas to a hydrogen separation device, thereby producing a pure hydrogen stream.
