Small-Scale Standard Hydrogen Plant
Process steam

Application: Hydrogen production by steam reforming in a highly standardized
and modularized plant.

Fuel gas

Feedstocks: Natural gas, refinery offgas, LPG, naphtha.

Product: Hydrogen; steam as coproduct.
Capacity: 15,000 Nm3/hr H₂-to 45,000 Nm3/hr H₂.
Description: The small-scale standard H₂ plant product is based on H2 production
via steam reforming of hydrocarbon feedstocks. Additionally, a CO shift and a
PSA unit are included to maximize the H₂ yield and purify the H₂. For more details
regarding the process technology, reference is made to the description of Steam
Methane Reforming (SMR).
The small-scale standard H₂ plant product includes four different plant sizes with
predefined equipment, piping arrangement and layout. Its design is optimized for
minimum total cost of ownership, but allows for considerable process flexibility.
The product is suitable for receiving different types of feedstocks. Its
configuration may be selected for high or low steam coproduct ratios, with an
option for high export steam quality. A prereformer may be included, particularly in
combination with liquid feedstocks.
Advantages: The design of the standard plant allows for considerable process
flexibility and a high degree of modularization to limit exposure during construction.
The compact plant layout results in a small footprint. A delivery time of less than 15
months FOB from the time of project award can be expected.
Economics: OPEX (feed and fuel): 14.5 MJ/Nm3 H₂-15 MJ/Nm3 H₂ (figures based on
natural gas feed and fuel). CAPEX of $25 MM-$60 MM.
Utilities: The main utility consumption is the feed and fuel utilized by the process.
Consumption of other utilities, such as cooling water, boiler feedwater, instrument air,
nitrogen and/or electrical power, are required.

has been continuously developed. Lurgi, a part of Air Liquide Engineering and
Construction, has been an active licensor for steam reforming since the 1960s.

Development/delivery: The initial attempt for steam reforming for H2 production
dates back to 1920, when Carl Bosch developed the ammonia synthesis process. The
first industrial production dates back to 1930 where, for example, a steam reforming
