Hydrogen Gas Generating Plant 90,000 SCFH

Description

Used modular hydrogen gas generating plant produces 90,000 SCFH (2300Nm³/hr.) of gaseous hydrogen at 200 PSIG (13.7 bar) with a purity of 99.99%.

Engineered by Hydro-Chem
Built in 1980.
The design capacity is 90,000 SCFH with a purity of 99.99% pure hydrogen - was running on only 10 tubes 45,000 SCF (1,182Nm³/hr). The reformer can be fired on natural gas or propane - same burner. Waste heat boiler generating, 3,000 to 5,000 lbs./hr. Export steam at 250 PSIG (17.2 bar). PSA plant. All 4 PSA vessels were replaced in 1998 with Jamesbury valves kept up to date, Quench pot design. Plant completely intact except for small natural gas compressor. Has new tubes, new reformer, and shift converter catalyst. Five (5) spare tubes available. The plant has just recently shut down in mid- 2012, and proper shutdown procedures were followed - still under nitrogen blanket.

• The plant was in operation until mid-2012.
• Was shut down properly using guidelines developed by Richard Daniel – plant still under nitrogen.
• Waste heat boiler was drained and dried – has desiccant packs in it.
• Boiler water treatment system is part of this sale.
• The small natural gas compressor is gone since they were using their own high-pressure gas – all the rest of the plant is intact.
• The control system is AB series 5. All the instruments are intact and installed and come with the sale as does the plc program and ladder logic. The AB5 plc and I/O’s do not since they are a part of the ongoing operation.
• Plant running on 10 tubes for 45,000 SCFH. Other tubes removed and burners were changed out for reduced production because of end users reduced H2 requirements.
• Five spare tubes come with this sale.
• H2 plant is enclosed in a building and reformer/vent gas drum behind a wind wall – and in good shape. Building is not part of the sale price but can be negotiated.
• All Fisher and Jamesbury valves have been kept up to date and changed as necessary – all in excellent shape
• All 4 PSA units changed out in August 1998.
• Gas plants are modular skid construction.
• Burner fired propane once a year to test it as a standby backup fuel – the main fuel was natural gas.
