摘要

A process for producing hydrogen and apparatus therefore comprising the following steps: (a) converting a hydrocarbonaceous feed (e.g. natural gas) in a reaction zone at elevated temperature and pressure at least partly into a gas mixture containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide, (b) removing hydrogen (e.g. by means of pressure swing adsorption) from product gas obtained from step (a), and (c) combusting hydrogen-depleted off gas obtained from step (b) with an oxygen-containing gas in a combustion zone and employing energy thus produced in at least one step of the process (e.g. for convective heating of the reaction zone or gas compression).
