In the past several years, forecasting the future avail-

ability and prices of hydrocarbon feedstocks for hydrogen

manufacture has been a very difficult problem. Today, in addition to the supply and demand forces of the market place,

the indeterminate influence of future governmental regulations greatly magnifies the dilemma faced by a company trying to select a long-term economical feedstock for a new hydrogen plant. For many years steam reforming of natural gas to pro-

duce synthesis gas has been a favored basis for hydrogen plant operation. However, the potential for increased price of natural gas has now directed attention to selection of heavier hydrocarbons as feedstock for hydrogen plants. A process which is well-suited to the basic requirement of providing hydrogen and carbon monoxide for hydrogen

manufacture is the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons; i.e.,

the combustion of hydrocarbons with a limited amount of oxygen to yield hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The process is also referred to as gasification because it converts liquid hydro-

carbons to gaseous products, essentially H2 and CO with only small amounts of CO2 and CH4 when high-purity oxygen is used as the oxidant. The product gas, often called synthesis gas or "syngas", can then be converted to high-purity hydrogen as well as a great variety of other chemical products. The ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide in the synthesis gas product from the partial oxidation unit is mainly a function of the hydrogen and carbon content of the feedstock. However, it is possible to exchange over a CO-shift catalyst the carbon monoxide of the synthesis gas for hydrogen from steam while simultaneously producing carbon dioxide. The processing sequence chosen for this paper, shown in Figure 1, is a conventional hydrogen plant flow scheme with each process section having been commercially well-proven. The synthesis gas product from the Shell Gasification Process

(SGP) unit is treated for sulfur removal in a Shell Sulfinol

unit.

The CO-Shift unit includes high-temperature shift cata0-8412-0522-1/80/47-116-095$06.75 © 1980 American Chemical Society In Hydrogen: Production and Marketing; Smith, W., et al.; ACS Symposium Series; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1980.
