HDF Gas to Power Base Case
HDF SYSTEM PRODUCES HYDROGEN AND MULTIPLE PRODUCT GASES
The Hydrogen Designer Fuel (HDF) system utilizes Proteum Energy’s proprietary steam non-methane reformation (SnMR™) technology. It converts non-methane hydrocarbon feedstocks (such as ethanol or any NGL, particularly ethane) into low carbon-intensity hydrogen, hydrogen-rich designer fuels, and pipeline synthetic natural gas (SNG).
Modular Flexibility allows production of multiple fuel products
- Each system incorporates Proteum’s proprietary SnMR™ technology built around heavy hydrocarbon reforming (HHR) reactors
- All non-methane hydrocarbons (including oxygenated) are possible feedstocks – e.g. ethanol, NGL, ethane, propane, methanol
- Renewable feedstocm including ethane, can be used to produce renewable hydrogen
- Optional modules – CO2 separation, H2 separation, SNG reactor -can be added to create customer-specific product gases
- Product gases are fuel cell hydrogen, pipeline synthetic natural gas, hydrogen-rich designer fuel, and carbon dioxide
- Decarbonizing applications include turbine fueling, natural gas pipeline H2 blending, and fuel cell quality H2 for transportation
- Hydrogen-rich designer fuels can be blended to specific targets: Wobbe index, Methane Number, energy density (Btu/cf)
- With CO2 sequestration, low-carbon intensity renewable or clean hydrogen is produced
- Core technology platform requires minimum 2,000m² / 0.5 acre footprint and may be integrated with waste heat recovery systems
