130,000 Nm3/hr Hydrogen unit with HTER at Vadinar Refinery, India
In January 2012, Essar Oil limited announced the successful commissioning of a new Hydrogen manufacturing unit with an installed capacity to generate 130,000 Nm3/hr hydrogen gas, making it one of the largest Hydrogen manufacturing units in the world. The unit is unique because of the installation of a Haldor Topsøe Exchange Reformer (HTER) in parallel with the conventional steam methane reformer.
The Hydrogen manufacturing unit is designed to operate on six feedstock options:
- natural gas
- saturated refinery fuel gas
- saturated LPG
- hydrotreated naphtha
- sweet stabilized naphtha
- a blend of saturated LPG and hydrotreated naphtha
The agreement for supply of know-how and process package was signed between Topsøe and Essar Oil Vadinar Limited in October 2007. Topsøe's scope included license, basic engineering, supply of HTER tube bundle and Topsøe catalysts for three 130,000 Nm3/hr hydrogen plants. Essar plans to start work on the second hydrogen plant soon.
"We are very pleased with the successful start-up of the first hydrogen unit and we are looking forward to to continue our good cooperation with Essar Oil Ltd.," says J. Michael Poulsen, Sales Manager, Hydrogen and Syngas Technology.
