Steam reforming process for conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen (2024)
Book Chapter
Udemu, C., & Font Palma, C. (2024). Steam reforming process for conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen. In M. R. Rahimpour, M. A. Makarem, & P. Kiani (Eds.), Hydrogen Production from Non-renewable Resources (33-72). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003382263-5

For many years, the steam reforming process has been used to generate hydrogen gas from a variety of feedstocks, including natural gas, propane, naphtha, and coal. The hydrocarbons are converted into hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide using a catalyst a... Read More about Steam reforming process for conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen.

Computational simulation of SE-SR of methane in a bench-scale circulating fluidised bed reactor: Insights into the effects of bed geometry design and catalyst-sorbent ratios (2024)
Journal Article
Udemu, C., & Font-Palma, C. (2024). Computational simulation of SE-SR of methane in a bench-scale circulating fluidised bed reactor: Insights into the effects of bed geometry design and catalyst-sorbent ratios. Fuel, 377, Article 132817. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2024.132817

Operating sorbent-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) of methane in fluidised bed reactors presents a promising pathway for industrial low-carbon hydrogen production. However, further understanding of its complex multi-phase behaviours under certain ope...

Potential cost savings of large-scale blue hydrogen production via sorption-enhanced steam reforming process (2024)
Journal Article
Udemu, C., & Font-Palma, C. (2024). Potential cost savings of large-scale blue hydrogen production via sorption-enhanced steam reforming process. Energy Conversion and Management, 302, Article 118132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2024.118132

As countries work towards achieving net-zero emissions, the need for cleaner fuels has become increasingly urgent. Hydrogen produced from fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen) has the potential to play a significant role in the...
