Blue Hydrogen

ProMax 6.0 is a great choice for simulating the various Blue Hydrogen production options which often include Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS).

Relevant reacting systems below can be modeled using ProMax:

Steam Methane Reforming with Flue Gas CO 2 Capture

• Autothermal Reforming

• Pre-reforming

• Tri-reforming

• Partial Oxidation

• Water Gas Shift

• Gibbs Reactor with active component selection and option of User-Defined Linear Constraints on product component compositions

• Equilibrium Reactor with Approach Temperature Constraints

• Plug Flow with Kinetic Rate configuration including Adsorption Terms.

ProMax is the leading simulator for pre- or post-combustion capture process to remove CO 2 from gas streams:

• Over 40 years of perfecting

• Rigorous Electrolytic Thermodynamics with Ionic Stream and Stage Phase analyses

• Generic Amines and Proprietary Sweetening Solvents from Huntsman, Dow, and Evonik

• Mixed Amines

• Physical Sweetening Solvents such as Methanol, Coastal AGR, and Propylene Carbonate

• Potassium Carbonate

• Ideal Stage or Heat & Mass-Transfer Based Distillation Columns (Trayed, Random, or Structured Packing)

• Regenerator Water Purge for High Temperature Feed Gases

• Loading and Lean/Rich Approach Calculations

• Absorber Temperature Profiles

ProMax developers have mastered the complex phase equilibria between CO 2 and H 2 O mixtures at near critical and supercritical conditions. This becomes very important when evaluating captured CO 2 compression, dehydration, transport, and downhole injection. To do these accurately requires accurate prediction of:

• Acid gas water content

• Acid gas density

• Glycol Dehydration thermodynamics

• Solids formation temperatures (Hydrates, Water Ice, and Dry Ice)

• Pipelines

Other simulation tools to improve users’ experience when evaluating these processes are:

• Excel Integration and Scenario Tool for performing multiple case studies

• Project and Flowsheet-Level Recovery Calculator

• Analyses for Calculating Special Properties of Streams and Stage Phases (Combustion, Phase Envelope, Solids Formation, Line Sizing, etc)

• Multiple Flowsheets likely having different thermodynamic packages integrated into a single simulation project

• Equipment rating and sizing utilities (Distillation Column, Heat Exchanger, Separator, Valve, Pipeline, Pump, Compressor, Expander)

• Excellent Units Conversion, Property Display, and Flowsheet Annotation features

• Upstream Production Facilities

• Hydrocarbon Accounting

• Gathering and Compression

• Flare and Vent Lines
