Method And System For Converting Hydrocarbon Fuel Into Hydrogen Gas

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for converting fuel into hydrogen having purity of above 99%, preferably 99.99%. The method described herein comprises the steps of removing sulphur (desulphurization) from Hydrocarbon fuel in liquid form so as to reduce the level of sulphur in the hydrocarbon fuel; heating the desulphurized hydrocarbon fuel with air/steam mixture, mixing the vaporized desulphurized hydrocarbon fuel with the air/steam to react to form reformate gas; passing the reformate gas comprising mixture of smaller hydrocarbons, and/or carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane etc through a series of hydrogenation catalyst bed resulting in the formation of a reformate gas; reacting the reformate gas stream with steam sprays to convert the carbon monoxide and methane to hydrogen, and selectively adsorbing nitrogen and carbon dioxide to give hydrogen gas at purity level of above about 99% to about 99.99%.
