H₂ Production from Natural Gas Reforming

SWCHEM has been engaged in the research and development of PSA technology, gaseous hydrocarbon reforming processes, steam reformers, steam reforming catalysts, desulfurizers and adsorbents since the 1960s.

Over the past decades, SWCHEM has delivered dozens of H₂ production plants. Our gaseous hydrocarbon steam reforming catalysts have received National Scientific and Technological Progress Awards, and SWCHEM’s natural gas reforming-to-H₂ projects have also been recognized with engineering design excellence awards.

Technical Features

Solid Desulfurization Process

SWCHEM adopts a solid desulfurization process using proprietary Fe-Mn-Zn solid desulfurizers. The process can effectively remove both organic and inorganic sulfur compounds, helping the feed gas meet the inlet requirements of the reforming section.

Proprietary Steam Reforming Catalysts

SWCHEM provides proprietary steam reforming catalysts with the following features:

  • High activity
  • Good thermal stability
  • Excellent resistance to carbon formation
  • Excellent resistance to rapid changes in temperature and pressure
  • Low pressure drop
  • Long service life

Proprietary PSA-H₂ Technology

SWCHEM adopts proprietary PSA technology, dedicated adsorbents and program-controlled valves for H2 purification.

Adsorbent Features

  • Good mechanical strength
  • Long service life
  • Excellent dynamic adsorption capacity for impurities
  • High separation efficiency
  • Performance reaching internationally advanced standards

Program-Controlled Valve Features

  • Excellent sealing performance with zero leakage
  • Fast switching, with adjustable opening and closing time
  • Long service life under frequent switching operation
  • Automatic actuation, including pneumatic, electric or hydraulic options
  • Valve position indication and switching signal feedback for reliable operation and control
