Abstract:
1. A process for producing a hydrogen-containing gas comprising: introducing a first feed gas comprising at least one hydrocarbon into a first hydrogen reaction vessel containing a first solid packing material; reacting the at least one hydrocarbon in the first hydrogen reaction vessel thereby generating a first product gas comprising hydrogen and thereby at least partially degrading the first solid packing material; withdrawing the first product gas from the first hydrogen reaction vessel; introducing a first regeneration gas into the first hydrogen reaction vessel thereby at least partially regenerating the first solid packing material and forming a first effluent gas from the first regeneration gas; and introducing at least a portion of the first effluent gas into a second hydrogen reaction vessel containing a second solid packing material thereby at least partially regenerating the second solid packing material with the at least a portion of the first effluent gas.
