Description

While hydrogen has always played an important role in the chemical process industries (CPI), it has gained much interest recently for its potential as a “green” fuel source. Decarbonization targets, along with improved technologies are driving a myriad of activities around hydrogen.

This Chemical Engineering resource is a compilation of full-length articles, news stories and short technology write-ups related to hydrogen production, handling and emerging technologies. It includes both recent developments, and practical articles from the past that are still relevant today.

Although much of the excitement today is about “green hydrogen” (produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydroelectric) and “blue hydrogen” (produced using non-renewable energy sources, such as nuclear), we should not ignore the fact that “grey hydrogen” (produced using fossil fuels, such as natural gas, naphtha and coal) is still the dominant type of hydrogen produced and used by the CPI today. Therefore, deciding which type of steam reformer to use for supplying your hydrogen needs is still very relevant, and is masterfully discussed in the Feature Report on pp. 23-29. The same can be said for hydrogen-purification methods (pp. 15-22). And for sure, safe handling of this important gas will be the same, regardless of whether your hydrogen is grey, blue or green.

Delivered in a PDF format. 99 Pages.

PSA Technology: Beyond Hydrogen Purification Pressure swing adsorption technology is well known for H2 purification applications, but the technique can also be used for other gas-separation processes in petroleum refining facilities

A Guide To: Methane Reforming A wide range of factors must be taken into account before selecting the most appropriate reforming technology

Part 2: New and Emerging Technology 

Safety and Handling How to Handle Hydrogen In Process Plants Process-unit layout, piping, instrumentation/control and materials of construction are but a few of the technical issues requiring special attention during the design or retrofitting of process plants that use hydrogen as a raw material

Know Your Hydrogen- Supply Options The best delivery method for your process unit depends on your plant location, and on the amount and purity of hydrogen you need
