    conventional hydrogen usage in refining

    Efficient and flexible hydrogen production

    Hydrogen is an essential element in a broad range of industries, such as chemical, refining, and steel.

    As a result, the cost-efficient and stable production of high purity hydrogen are vital to the profitability of many businesses. Our processes produce hydrogen from natural gas as well as a wide range of alternative feedstocks including coal, LPG, heavy naphtha, waste, and other biomaterials. Our solutions can be tailor-made to allow feedstock flexibility and are optimized to ensure the most reliable production of the highest purity hydrogen, using the least amount of energy and other resources.

    Conventional hydrogen and our solutions for producing it

    Conventional hydrogen can be produced from a range of alternative feedstocks, like natural gas, coal, LPG, heavy naphtha, waste, etc. Below you can explore our solutions for producing it. 

    HTCR convection reforming technology

    For small to medium size capacity hydrogen plants, we offer our highly efficient HTCR convection reforming technology, which is cost-competitive due to its modular design.

    Electrified steam methane reforming of biogas for sustainable syngas manufacturing and next-generation of plant design: A pilot plant study

    Electrification of the traditional steam methane reforming (SMR) technology for syngas manufacturing has a significant CO2 reduction potential and make it more feasible to operate in combination with carbon capture/utilization, especially if renewable electricity is used. This pilot plant study demonstrates the first operational experience with industrial-scale electrified steam methane reforming (eSMR) technology using biogas as sustainable carbon feedstock.
