A method to recover olefins and C.sub.2.sup.+ fractions from refineries gas streams. The traditional recovery methods employed at refineries are absorption with solvents and cryogenic technology using compression and expansion aided by external refrigeration systems. In contrast to known methods, there is provided first a pre-cooling heat exchanger on a feed line feeding the gas stream to a in-line mixer, secondly by injecting and mixing a stream of LNG to condense the C.sub.2.sup.+ fractions upstream of the fractionator. The temperature of the gas stream entering the fractionator is monitored downstream of the in-line mixer. A LNG stream is temperature controlled to flow through the injection inlet and mix with the feed gas at a temperature which results in the condensation of the C.sub.2.sup.+ fractions before entering the fractionator. A LNG reflux stream is temperature controlled to maintain fractionator overhead temperature. The fractionator bottoms temperature is controlled by a circulating reboiler stream.

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 provides a process for separating hydrogen from a gaseous feed stream in a polymerisation process, comprising the steps i) polymerising an olefin monomer and optionally at least one olefin comonomer, in the presence of a solvent optionally in the presence of hydrogen, so as to form a polymerisation reaction mixture comprising a polyolefin polymer, unreacted monomer(s), solvent and hydrogen; ii) separating said polyolefin polymer from said unreacted monomer(s), solvent and hydrogen; iii) feeding said unreacted monomer(s) and hydrogen to a condenser so as to form said gaseous feed stream; iv) contacting said gaseous feed stream with a hydrogen separating membrane so as to form a hydrogen-rich gaseous stream and a hydrogen-lean gaseous stream.

The invention relates to a gas scrubbing process for purifying crude synthesis gas with methanol as a physical absorption medium, wherein an acid gas comprising at least hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2S) is produced. The acid gas is produced in a hot regenerator arranged downstream of an absorption apparatus and subsequently separated from gaseous methanol in an acid gas separator by cooling and condensation. The acid gas separator has a condensation region and an absorption region, wherein both regions are separated from one another by a gas-permeable tray. This has the result that impurities such as hydrogen cyanide and/or ammonia outgassing from a first acid gas substream are not reabsorbed in the condensation region of the acid gas separator, thus avoiding an accumulation of impurities in the hot regenerator or other parts of the gas scrubbing plant. The invention further relates to an acid gas separator and to the use of the acid gas separator according to the invention in a process according to the invention.

A method of using a feedstock gas reactor is described. A hydrocarbon, such as methane, is chemical decomposed in the feedstock gas reactor using heat of combustion generated from the combustion of a combustible gas. A mixed product stream is extracted from the feedstock gas reactor. The mixed product stream comprises hydrogen, carbon, and water. At least a portion of the one or more combustion product gases are vented from the combustion chamber. At least some of the carbon is activated using the vented one or more combustion product gases. At least some of the activated carbon is recycled to the feedstock gas reactor.

The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen gas production method including: a first step of generating a mixed gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a hydrogen storage agent by dehydrogenation reaction using a catalyst in a reactor; a second step of purifying the generated mixed gas to acquire a gas having a high hydrogen concentration; a third step of separating a solution in the reactor into a solution enriched with the catalyst and a permeate using a separation membrane unit; and a fourth step of supplying the solution enriched with the catalyst to the reactor for reusing in the first step.
