Abstract
Process control parameters for production of hydrogen and FT products by steam/CO2 reforming include controlling steam reformer temperature, addition of steam, CO and optionally, biogas. Optimization of parameters have resulted in increased production of H2, removal of sulfur and halogen contaminants, and control of the H2/CO ratio for efficient generation of Fischer-Tropsch products.
Claims20
A method of generating at least one of H2 and Fischer Tropsch liquids, the method comprising:
- receiving feedstock into an initial reformer;
- reforming, in the initial reformer, at least a portion of the feedstock with steam to produce an input gas, wherein an amount of the input gas is syngas;
- transferring the input gas from the initial reformer to a main reformer;
- reforming, in the main reformer, the input gas with steam to increase the amount of syngas;
- transferring the syngas from the main reformer to a Fischer Tropsch module;
- using the syngas in a Fischer Tropsch reaction;
- and
- extracting from the Fischer Tropsch module H2O and at least one of Fischer Tropsch liquids generated by the Fischer Tropsch reaction and H2 generated by the Fischer Tropsch reactions.
