Many refiners need additional hydrogen in order to process more feed or lower quality crude. During the past 20 years, Haldor Topsoe has developed a number of steam reforming technologies that can be implemented for additional new hydrogen plant capacity, as well as an add-on to an existing hydrogen plant to provide additional hydrogen capacity.
These technologies are based on proprietary heat exchange steam reforming technology and are characterized by efficient heat transfer, resulting in feed and fuel savings of up to 20%, compared to a traditional box type hydrogen plant
