High Pressure Infrastructure

The distribution of gaseous hydrogen from centralized production facilities is usually effected by transportation in large pressure containers by road or rail. To supply large amounts of hydrogen, distribution via pipelines is the most economical way [16].

Several explanations may be taken into account for only a small decrease in importance an existing high-pressure infrastructure which is also used for the hydroformylation of olefins higher than propene, where cobalt-based processes are advantageous a combined cobalt recovery and recycle system for the hydroformylation of different olefins and the use of tail gases from low-pressure hydroformylation units. 

The construction industry produces key infrastructure components essential for economic development hi recent years the Asian region has experienced high pressure on its existing infrastructure leading to rapid growth of construction of transport systems, utilities and office developments. 

In the future, coal-fired electric power plants, in their off-peak hours, may also need to serve as chemical production facilities for various synthetic fuels. Coal-fired power plants have the capital-intensive infrastructure for mining, transport and handling the massive quantities of coal that will be required. At least 1 billion metric tons per year of coal would be required to replace present U.S. consumption of petroleum distillates by synthetic fuels [5]. For perspective, approximately 1 billion metric tons of coal are now produced annually by the United States, 92% of which is used by electric power plants. All synthetic fuels will require large quantities of hydrogen at high pressures.
