Steam Methane Reforming Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 -2020

Transparency Market Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation inclines on “Steam Methane Reforming Market”. This report likewise incorporates more illumination about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions and worldwide business sector industry structure. The growing hydrogen generation market is one of the primary demand drivers for Steam Methane Reformers. Steam methane reforming is the most economical way to produce hydrogen. It involves two primary reactions: the reforming reaction and the water gas shift reaction. In the reforming reaction natural gas is mixed with steam and is heated at very high temperatures to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. To produce additional hydrogen, carbon monoxide from the reforming reaction interacts with steam in the water gas shift reactor. Commonly utilized feedstock in steam reformers are natural gas and naphtha. Steam reformers are segmented based on the type such as pre reformers, primary reformers, compact reformers and secondary reformers.

The main components of Steam methane reformer are furnace, water gas shift reactor and pressure swing absorbers. The furnace is where the process of liberating hydrogen from natural gas and steam begins. The gas-and-steam mixture travels down into reformer tubes that hang in vertical rows surrounded by gas burners that heat the mixture. The reformer tubes comprises of nickel catalyst that triggers a reaction causing methane in natural gas to react with water vapor to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Additional hydrogen is created in the water gas shift reactor. The water gas shift reactor is filled with an iron chrome based catalyst that creates steam to break into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen moves through the plant whereas oxygen joins carbon monoxide from the furnace to form carbon dioxide.
