A flow through decomposition unit has a catalyst between an inlet end and an outlet end. A hydrogen peroxide solution, at 70% by weight hydrogen peroxide or less, is pumped into the inlet end. Steam and oxygen are produced at the outlet end. A system and process provide one or more utilities to a facility, for example a natural gas wellhead separator shed. The decomposition process creates heat, which can be used to heat the facility. The oxygen produced under pressure, and can be used to provide a replacement for other pressurized gasses. Optionally, the system may generate electricity. Optionally, water produced in the process may be used for potable water, process water or to dilute a solution of hydrogen peroxide before it is decomposed. The system includes a hydrogen peroxide tank, a decomposition unit with a catalyst, a heat exchanger, optionally a steam knockout and optionally an electrical generator.

A process for reforming for producing hydrogen and generating electricity, comprises: introducing a feed comprising a hydrocarbon stream to a reformer to produce unshifted synthesis gas (syngas); introducing the unshifted syngas to a water gas shift unit to produce a shifted syngas; removing CO.sub.2 from the shifted syngas to produce a CO.sub.2 depleted syngas and a CO.sub.2 product; introducing the CO.sub.2 depleted syngas to a pressure swing adsorption unit to produce a hydrogen product and an off-gas comprising carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, unreacted methane; splitting a portion of the hydrogen product; and providing the portion of the hydrogen product to an electricity generator for generating electricity for use within the process.
