Hydrogen production for the (proposed) instalation Scholven III. (Gladbeck) (in German)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6494173
This series of reports represented a continuing consideration within the company of the best method for producing or recovering the large quantities of hydrogen necessary for coal hydrogenation, for maintaining the correct level of nitrogen in the circulating gases of the hydrogenation process, and for maintaining a heating value of 1400 Cal/m/sup 3/ for the heating gases used in the process. Through the series of reports, six different proposals were considered, some with variations. Flowsheets showing material balances for each of the plans were included in the reports. Most of the plans involved a gas-cracking installation, a Linde installation for fractionating the circulating gases, and the depressurizing of some of the circulating gases for use as heating gases, in addition to the original supplying of hydrogen from water gas generators or coking installations. Some of the variations in plans were due to changes in estimates of how much coke gas could be supplied to them from other sources. included with the reports were two large sheets giving estimated cost of materials, energy, and services for Gladbeck under two of the potential plans. Some of the units for which these costs were estimated were the water-gas generators, storage containers, sulfur removal, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide removal, compression and piping. 10 flowsheets, 2 tables
