Title:

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING LOW LEVEL HEAT IN STEAM REFORMING EQUIPMENT

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPS62266138

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

A process for the recovery of low-level heat in steam reforming plants by saturating a hydrocarbon gas feed stock with process condensate in a system comprising:a) injection of process condensate through multiple nozzles (20) into a tubular coil (26) containing multiple streams of hydrocarbon gas feedstock;b) vaporization (in 23) of all or part of process condensate by the concurrent heating of the two-phase mixture of hydrocarbon feedstock and liquid in the tubular coil by heat transfer from a low-level heat source such as a reformer furnace flue gas or shift reactor effluent;c) separation (in 31) of the saturated hydrocarbon gas from any excess liquid condensate, with delivery of the saturated hydrocarbon gas to a steam reforming unit and recycle of excess liquid condensate to the process condensate system.
