    摘要: A process for production of hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide rich gas from gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon feed-stock comprising the following steps: (a) desulphurisation of the hydrocarbon feed (1), mixing the feed (1) with steam (4) produced from waste heat in the process, feeding the mixture (6, 7) to a steam reforming section (8, 9) for conversion of the hydrocarbon feed by reaction with steam to form a process gas (12) comprising a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, residual methane and excess steam, (b) cooling the process gas (12) by steam production, (c) separating hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide (21) by conducting the process gas through a hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide purification section (20), (d) adding essentially all off-gas (22) from the purification section (20) as fuel to the reforming section (8, 9) to provide heat for the reforming reaction, (e) recovering hot flue gas (32) from the reforming section and cooling the hot flue gas at least partly by steam production, (f) recovering essentially all steam produced by cooling of process gas (12) and flue gas (32) as process steam (4), wherein the reforming section comprises at least two reforming reactors (8, 9) fed in parallel with the feed mixture of hydrocarbon feedstock (6, 7) and steam (4) and fired so that fuel (25, 26) is added in parallel to burners (29, 31) in the reforming reactors (8, 9), whereas combustion air (27) is added to a first reforming reactor (8) in an amount required to ensure a suitable adiabatic flame temperature and the partly cooled flue gas (30) from the first reforming reactor is used as combustion air in the at least one subsequent reforming reactor (9) arranged in series with respect to said combustion air in an amount required to ensure a suitable adiabatic flame temperature

    摘要: Heat exchange process comprising sequential cooling a first fluid by indirect heat exchange with a second fluid and comprising the following steps: introducing the first fluid sequentially into at least two concentric U-tube bundles defining at least a first heating zone and a second heating zone respectively, introducing a second fluid onto the shell side of the U-tube bundles, each heating zone partially separated from the other by a wall, the first heating zone being a colder zone and the second heating zone being a hotter zone, the tube bundle of the first colder heating zone being made of a low alloy steel and the tube bundle of the second hotter heating zone being made of a temperature and corrosion resistant alloy, withdrawing the cooled second fluid and the heated first fluid. The invention also concerns a heat exchanger for use in the above process.
