Hydrogen plants include steam reforming or hydrogen generation reactors, shift conversion reactors, gas purification or separation units, steam generators, direct or indirect contact cooling systems, and their associated systems including the units used to recover carbon dioxide from the vent gas. The main process of hydrogen plants for the production of hydrogen is steam reforming, whereby a hydrocarbon feedstock is mixed with steam and heated in the presence of a catalyst to produce crude hydrogen, which is then purified. The pure hydrogen product from hydrogen plants is widely used in a range of industries including refining, petrochemical, steel, glass manufacture, electronics and food production. There are wide variety of hydrogen plants are available, which are designed and built to the highest standards, with efficiency, reliability and safety as the prime criteria.
