Simulate Equilibrium Reactor

PROBLEM STATEMENT

 The new application of hydrogen as a raw  for fuel cells for mobile power source

 (PEM fuel cells) requires that the inlet gas have a concentration lower than 10-20 ppm.

 Otherwise, the anode is poisoned and the cell efficiency abruptly drops. Hence, if the

hydrogen is produced from hydrocarbon or alcohol reforming, purification is required in 

 

order to reduce the CO levels to cell requirements. The most technologically feasible

 

purification train consist of a water gas shift reaction (WGS). The reaction 

CO + H20 <----------------->CO2 + H2 

has been employed for 40 years in the industrial process for H2 production from liquid

 

and gaseous hydrocarbon. The role of the WGS reaction is to increase the H2 ryield and

 

decrease the CO concentration, which is a poison for some catalyst used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

>Simulate equilibrium reactor and reactions in HYSYS.
