Gas Plant with Capacity 60000 Nm3/hour Hydrogen and 14500 Nm3/hour Carbon Monoxide

AIR LIQUIDE HyCO

Used industrial gas plant designed to produce high purity hydrogen and carbon monoxide from natural gas. Built by Air Liquide and first operated in 2015, shut down in August 2024.

Output capacity as follows:
- Carbon monoxide 14500 Nm3/hour with approximately 99% purity. (Actual purity depends on volume of nitrogen in the natural gas feedstock.)
- Hydrogen 60000 Nm3/hour with 99.99% purity.
- Superheated 40 bar steam by-product.

The HyCO plant includes the following (5) main sections:
Hnodpfoy Ryrbex Apvjl
- Syngas generation / steam reforming and steam generation
- Gas cooling
- CO2 scrubbing
- Gas drying and cryogenic dismantling
- Pressure swing adsorption (PSA)

Also included: sub-systems for provision of operating resources, flare system, process control and safety shutdown system.
