Title: Apparatus and method for producing hydrogen
Inventor: BALASUBRAMANIAN BHASKAR
IPC: B01D53/06
Filed: 2005-12-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing hydrogen. The apparatus includes a fuel processor, a purification unit and a system controller. The controller determines a calculated flow of reformate from the fuel processor and operates the purification unit based on the calculated flow. The calculated flow is derived from a process model of the fuel processor and known feed(s) to the fuel processor. The calculated flow of reformate is used to control the flow of reformate to adsorbent beds within the purification unit and can be used to control other materials flows within the apparatus. Means for reducing fluctuations in the pressure and/or flow rate of reformate flowing from the fuel processor to the purification unit are also disclosed. The purity of the hydrogen produced can be maintained by adjusting the operation of the purification unit in response to changes in reformate composition, pressure and/or flow rate.

Title: Process to reduce the hydrogen sulphide content of natural gas obtained during the extraction of crude oil/natural gas mixtures
Inventor: SAECKER GEORG
IPC: C10L3/10
Filed: 2006-05-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for depleting hydrogen sulfide in natural gas from the exploitation of crude oil/natural gas mixtures containing acid gas, during which the pressure of highly pressurized crude oil/natural gas mixture is firstly reduced to a pressure of 70 to 130 bar, preferably 90 bar, the outgassing crude gas is separated from the crude oil and the crude gas is cooled, whereby the liquid phase condensing during the cooling of the crude gas is removed, the outgassed crude gas is, after cooling and without further measures of reducing pressure, subjected to a gas scrubbing, which absorbs a large portion of the H2S contained in the crude gas by means of a physically acting solvent whereby cleaning the crude gas. The loaded solvent is led into at least one pressure reducing stage, and the heat dissipated during the cooling of the crude gas is fed to the loaded solvent. The dissolved H2S is permitted to outgas from the solvent that, in turn, cools regenerated solvents and returns them to the gas scrubbing. The crude oil with the pressure reduced to 70 to 130 bar is subjected to a further reduction in pressure in another stage to a pressure of 20 to 40 bar, preferably 30 bar, and the outgassing additional H2S-rich crude gas is separated from the crude oil. The crude oil with the pressure reduced to 20 to 40 bar is subjected to a further reduction in pressure to a pressure of 2 to 15 bar, preferably 10 bar. The outgassing additional crude gas is separated from the crude oil, and the H2S-containing gas outgassed from the solvent is brought to the pressure of the H2S-rich crude gas outgassed from the crude oil, and all outgassed H2S-containing flows of gas are brought together. This merged H2S-containing flow of gas is brought to a pressure greater than the pressure of the crude oil reservoir and guided into a bored hole of the crude oil reservoir.
