| description | System analysis was conducted on a proposed combined system for methane steam reforming comprising
conventional hydrogen production and waste heat recovery from steelmaking. Operating data for a conventional
methane steam reforming system were collected and analyzed. The results showed that the conventional
system utilized only 60% of the natural gas as raw material and the rest is consumed for supplying
the reaction heat for methane steam reforming. On the basis of this data, the proposed system was
evaluated on five factors—natural gas consumption, enthalpy flow, CO2 emission, cost, and exergy loss. For
the proposed system, the factors were only 59.6%, 59.7%, 62.8%, 86.5%, and 65.8% of those of the
conventional system, respectively. This supports the feasibility of hydrogen production from recovered
waste heat. Furthermore, the proposed system is expected to contribute to the production of ‘green’ hydrogen
that incurs less CO2 emission. |
