Technology

Syngas, a mixture of Hydrogen (H₂) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), is produced by the Steam Reforming Process (SMR).

The desired H₂/CO ratio can be adjusted by conversion or H₂/CO separation.

Linde plants supply Syngas with an H₂/CO ratio from 1.6 and a capacity from 1,000 Nm³/h to over 100,000 Nm³/h. Natural Gas,

Liquid Gas and Naphtha are generally converted by Catalytic Steam Reforming to a Raw Synthesis Gas.

This is then further processed depending on the desired final products.

In the case of pure Hydrogen, the process includes such features as the Catalytic Conversion of the CO and a Pressure Swing Adsorption unit, in which all impurities are removed in a single step.
