Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen production and in particular relates to a method for producing hydrogen by using light hydrocarbons as raw materials and adopting a light hydrocarbon primary steam reforming technology with heat exchange pre-reforming. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: introducing a heat exchange type pre-reforming furnace, providing part of heat for reforming reaction by sensible heat of high-temperature reforming gas at the outlet of a primary steam reforming furnace, instead of part of fuel gas, and pre-reforming mixed raw material gas before entering the primary steam reforming furnace, so that a large amount of fuel required for the primary steam reforming furnace and a large amount of byproduct steam of a reforming gas waste heat boiler and a flue gas waste heat boiler at the convection section of the primary steam reforming furnace can be reduced, and the purposes of reducing the light hydrocarbon raw material and fuel consumption and the hydrogen production cost in a hydrogen production process can be achieved. Compared with a conventional method for producing hydrogen by the light hydrocarbon primary steam reforming technology, the method provided by the invention has the characteristics that the total light hydrocarbon consumption (raw materials and replenished fuel) can be reduced by about 7%-15%; at present, the price of light hydrocarbons is increasingly raised, the hydrogen production cost can be greatly reduced and the discharge of waste gas is reduced.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen production, and in particular relates to a method for producing hydrogen by using light hydrocarbons as raw materials and adopting a one-stage steam reforming technology of light hydrocarbons with heat exchange pre-reformation. [0002] Background technique [0003] To produce hydrogen from light hydrocarbons such as natural gas, refinery dry gas, oilfield associated gas, coke oven gas, dry distillation gas, naphtha, etc., it is first necessary to convert the light hydrocarbons into H-rich 2 The reformed gas, and then use gas separation methods, such as pressure swing adsorption separation method and freezing separation method, to achieve the purpose of producing hydrogen. [0004] The existing hydrogen production from light hydrocarbon conversion generally adopts a one-stage steam reforming method to produce reformed gas. 2 O reaction transforms into H 2 and CO 2 , and finally use the gas separation...
