The present disclosure provides systems and methods for hydrogen production as well as apparatuses useful in such systems and methods. Hydrogen is produced by steam reforming of a hydrocarbon in a gas heated reformer that is heated using one or more streams comprising combustion products of a fuel in an oxidant, preferably in the presence of a carbon dioxide circulating stream.

Materials, methods of making, and methods of providing a trimetallic oxygen carrier for converting methane containing fuel to synthesis gas. The trimetallic oxygen carrier comprises Cu.sub.xFe.sub.yMn.sub.zO.sub.t, where Cu.sub.xFe.sub.yMn.sub.zO.sub.t is a chemical composition with 0<x3 and 0<y3 and 0<z3 and, 0<t5. For example, Cu.sub.xFe.sub.yMn.sub.zO.sub.t may be one of CuMnFeO.sub.4, CuFe.sub.0.5Mn.sub.1.5O.sub.4, CuFeMn.sub.2O.sub.4, CuFe.sub.2MnO.sub.4, or Cu impregnated on FerMnsOu, Fe impregnated on CurMnsOu, Mn impregnated on CurFesOu where r>0, s>0 and u>0 and combinations thereof. Reaction of trimetallic Cu.sub.xFe.sub.yMn.sub.zO.sub.t with methane generates a product stream comprising at least 50 vol. % CO and H.sub.2.

A volume of natural gas including a volume of methane and a volume of other alkanes may be cleaned of the other alkanes using a steam reformer system to create synthesis gas.

Provided is a process for producing synthesis gas with minimized emissions of ammonia. The process includes converting hydrocarbon containing feed stream in reformer tubes (104A-N) and discharging a crude synthesis gas stream and a flue gas stream, routing the flue gas stream through a catalyst unit (112), cooling the crude synthesis gas stream to form an aqueous condensate stream comprising ammonia, tripping the aqueous condensate stream comprising ammonia with a stripping gas stream, routing out a condensate stream depleted in ammonia and a stripping gas stream enriched in ammonia, introducing the stripping gas stream enriched in ammonia into a flue gas duct (110), where both the at least a portion of the flue gas stream and the at least a portion of the stripping gas stream enriched in ammonia pass through a first catalyst zone (114) and subsequently through a second catalyst zone (116) of the catalyst unit (112).

A hydrocarbon is reacted with water in the presence of a catalyst to form hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen is selectively allowed to pass through a hydrogen separation membrane to a permeate side of a reactor, while water and carbon-containing compounds remain in a retentate side of the reactor. An outlet stream is flowed from the retentate side to a heat exchanger. The outlet stream is cooled to form a cooled stream. The cooled stream is separated into a liquid phase and a vapor phase. The liquid phase is flowed to the heat exchanger and heated to form steam. The vapor phase is cooled to form condensed water and a first offgas stream. The first offgas stream is cooled to form condensed carbon dioxide and a second offgas stream. The steam and the second offgas stream are recycled to the reactor.

The invention relates to the production of synthesis gas by means of particularly a series arrangement of heat exchange reforming and autothermal reforming stages, in which the heat required for the reforming reactions in the heat exchange reforming stage is provided by hot effluent synthesis gas from the autothermal reforming stage. More particularly, the invention relates to optimisation of the operation and control of an arrangement of heat exchange reforming and autothermal reforming stages and introduction of an additional waste heat boiler.

Provided is a system for supplying a reformed product from by-product gas to a catalyst regenerator of a catalytic olefins production process. The system includes a reactor configured to mix naphtha and a catalyst to produce olefins through a cracking reaction of naphtha, and then separate the coked catalyst and olefins to discharge the coked catalyst, a catalyst regenerator configured to regenerate the coked catalyst introduced from the reactor and recirculate and supply the regenerated catalyst to the reactor, an air supplier configured to supply burning air to the catalyst regenerator, and a catalytic partial oxidation reformer configured to reform by-product gas containing methane as a main component to supply a reformed product containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide as a main component to the catalyst regenerator and regenerate the coked catalyst.
