Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming step using an autothermal reformer (ATR) thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH4, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O; shifting said synthesis gas in a shift configuration including a high temperature shift step; passing the shifted syngas to a first hydrogen purification unit, e.g. a PSA unit; passing a portion of the off-gas from the first hydrogen purification unit to a second hydrogen purification unit, and using off-gas from the first and second hydrogen purification unit as e.g. fuel for a preheater unit before the ATR.

Abstract: A reformer furnace is provided for use in converting a hydrocarbon feed into a synthesis gas stream. The reformer furnace includes at least one bayonet reformer tube located at least partly within an enclosed volume. The reformer furnace includes a first support arranged to support the second end portion of the at least one bayonet reformer tube against the second endwall of the reformer furnace.

Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming step thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH4, CO, CO2, H2 and H2O; shifting said synthesis gas in a shift configuration including a high temperature shift step; removal of CO2 upstream hydrogen purification unit, such as a pressure swing adsorption unit (PSA), and recycling off-gas from hydrogen purification unit and mix it with natural gas upstream prereformer feed preheater, prereformer, reformer feed preheater or ATR or shift as feed for the process.

Abstract: A plant and process for producing a hydrogen rich gas and improved carbon capture are provided, said process comprising the steps of: reforming a hydrocarbon feed by optional prereforming, autothermal reforming (ATR), yet no primary reforming, thereby obtaining a synthesis gas; shifting said synthesis gas in a shift section including a high temperature shift step; removal of CO2 upstream hydrogen purification unit, thereby producing a hydrogen rich stream and an off-gas stream, and where at least part of the off-gas stream is recycled to the process, thus to the ATR and optional prereforming, and/or to the shift section.
