Retrofitting an existing plant can provide a
cost-effective way to meet incremental demand for
hydrogen
Refiners will consume more hydrogen to produce cleaner and
lighter fuels, which are mandated by current and possible future
environmental regulations. How will this consistent demand for
extra hydrogen be met? There are several potential solutions. It
can be outsourced from over-the-fence suppliers. New hydrogen
plants can be built onsite, but this option will involve
substantial expenses.
Another attractive option for refiners, who have an existing
hydrogen plant, is retrofitting this unit with advanced processing
technologies and catalyst systems that can incrementally raise
hydrogen capacity. This option can provide additional hydrogen
capacity at a lower cost. Equally impo
