ActiSorb S6 zinc and copper oxide based adsorbent
ActiSorb S6 is a zinc and copper oxide-based adsorbent in tablet form for removing residual sulfur levels down to < 10 ppb. It is used
Pre-reforming or pre-reforming
When natural gas streams with a higher hydrocarbon content, or LPG or naphtha feed streams, are used as hydrocarbon feed streams instead of typical natural gas (with methane as the main component) in the production of synthesis gas, pre-reforming with a nickel steam reforming catalyst such as our ReforMax® 100 is necessary. Pre-reforming takes place at significantly lower temperatures than steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas. Since methane is not reformed with steam during pre-reforming, a nickel catalyst (for example, the ReforMax® 330 methane steam reforming catalyst) must be installed downstream of the nickel steam reforming catalyst to produce synthesis gas or hydrogen.
Steam reforming
Steam reforming is a large-scale industrial process for producing synthesis gas, a mixture of CO and H₂, from hydrocarbons. To increase the hydrogen yield in the synthesis gas, additional hydrogen is produced by reacting CO with steam via the water-gas shift process (CO + H₂O > CO₂).2 + H2) and the synthesis gas enriched with H2 is then subjected to hydrogen purification.
