I am a university student with operation experience of 6 years. I am designing a Hydrogen Unit for school and has finished the material and heat balance on the unit. The design was considered to be the best out of class. Now, I have to size each equipment for the final presentation. I have designed most of the equipment except Reformer, PreReformer, and PSA.
For Reformer: I could have used PFR equation to find volume but no catalyst is given. I have used the heat flu to calculate the surface area and tube numbers for 100MM SCFD H2 production. Anyone has any info on Total Reformer size and tube sizing please?
PSA: I can not have slight idea where to start with Pressure Adsorption Unit size. I would appreciate if anybody has info on that.
PreReformer: Converts higher hydrocarbons completely but I do not know how to size it. I have seen alot of members have done the same research but nobody never uploaded anything.
I have used the search button and did not find what I was looking for.
Can somebody please upload any excel sheet regarding any of these equipments?
By reformer heat flux..i was able to calculate 240 5inch tubes 45 ft long..I am not sure how good that number is since Overall heat Transfer was an Average.
Thank you.
