The feasibility and conditions of efficient and economic production of special-purity hydrogen from products of steam conversion of methane and its close homologs in a high-temperature converter-membrane equipment system containing a methane or carbon monoxide conversion catalyst are studied using numerical modeling. It is shown that the investigated system is suitable for efficient hydrogen production from methane, ethane, propane, and butane whose technical and economic indexes are similar.It is well known that for production of hydrogen, including special-purity hydrogen (SPH), conversion of methane with steam is the most studied and industrially developed method [1]. From the standpoint of feasibility of broadening feedstock range for SPH production, other saturated hydrocarbons, for example, close methane homologs, viz., ethane, propane, butane, etc., are also of interest.A promising way of augmenting the efficiency and economy of compact stationary and mobile equipment for highpurity gaseous hydrogen production from methane is to combine membrane extraction of hydrogen with catalytic conversion of methane [2][3][4][5][6] or carbon monoxide [7,8].However, not enough attention has been paid to the study of the conditions of efficient and economic SPH production in high-temperature converter-membrane equipment (HTC-ME) system from hydrocarbons other than methane.In this work, we used a numerical modeling method to analyze the feasibility of efficient SPH production from mixtures of steam with several saturated hydrocarbons in the HTC-ME system where membrane extraction of SPH is combined with chemical conversions in the presence of CH 4 or CO conversion catalysts in the high-pressure chamber (HPC) of the membrane equipment. Mixtures of C 2 H 6 , C 3 H 8 , and C 4 H 10 with steam have been investigated as the feedstock for SPH production. For a comparison, further analysis has been made of the parameters of SPH production from steam CH 4 conversion products.Two simplified schematics of SPH production in the HTC-ME system are shown in Fig. 1. Process version 1 is for producing SPH from the products of steam conversion of methane and its homologs using a CH 4 conversion catalyst in the HPC of the membrane equipment ME-1. The HTC and ME-1 are placed in a common housing and have identical operating temperature (600°C).
