The overhead product of the crude unit contains hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrocarbons up to butanes and some pentanes. It is usually sent to a set of distillation columns known as a saturate gas plant for recovery of propane and butane for sale. The lighter gases are then used as refinery fuel.

Petroleum Gases and Naphtha. Methane is the main hydrocarbon component of petroleum gases. Lesser amounts of ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and some 0 + light hydrocarbons also exist. Other gases such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbonyl sulfide are also present.

Eleven elements are gases under normal conditions (Fig. 4.2). So are many compounds with low molar masses, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and organic compounds such as the methane, CH4, of natural gas and the... 

The activity and stability of catalysts for methane-carbon dioxide reforming depend subtly upon the support and the active metal. Methane decomposes to carbon and hydrogen, forming carbon on the oxide support and the metal. Carbon on the metal is reactive and can be oxidized to CO by oxygen from dissociatively adsorbed COj. For noble metals this reaction is fast, leading to low coke accumulation on the metal particles The rate of carbon formation on the support is proportional to the concentration of Lewis acid sites. This carbon is non reactive and may cover the Pt particles causing catalyst deactivation. Hence, the combination of Pt with a support low in acid sites, such as ZrO, is well suited for long term stable operation. For non-noble metals such as Ni, the rate of CH4 dissociation exceeds the rate of oxidation drastically and carbon forms rapidly on the metal in the form of filaments. The rate of carbon filament formation is proportional to the particle size of Ni Below a critical Ni particle size (d<2 nm), formation of carbon slowed down dramatically Well dispersed Ni supported on ZrO is thus a viable alternative to the noble metal based materials. 

Steady state and non steady state kinetic measurements suggest that methane carbon dioxide reforming proceeds in sequential steps combining dissociation and surface reaction of methane and CO2 During admission of pulses of methane on the supported Pt catalysts and on the oxide supports, methane decomposes into hydrogen and surface carbon The amount of CH, converted per pulse decreases drastically after the third pulse (this corresponds to about 2-3 molecules of CH< converted per Pt atom) indicating that the reaction stops when Pt is covered with (reactive) carbon CO2 is also concluded to dissociate under reaction conditions generating CO and adsorbed... 

Gas hydrates are non-stoichiometric crystals formed by the enclosure of molecules like methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide inside cages formed by hydrogen-bonded water molecules. There are more than 100 compounds (guests) that can combine with water (host) and form hydrates. Formation of gas hydrates is a problem in oil and gas operations because it causes plugging of the pipelines and other facilities. On the other hand natural methane hydrate exists in vast quantities in the earth s crust and is regarded as a future energy resource. 

Measurements have so far been made on mixtures of steam + hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, methane, carbon-dioxide, n-hexane, n-heptane, benzene and cyclohexane. The measurements cover the range 373 to 698 K at pressures from 0.1 MPa to saturation or 12.5 MPa. The only exception to this is steam + carbon dioxide for which the measurements extend up to 5.5 MPa. The accuracy of the measurements is around 2 percent. 

Five product gas storage tanks having three functions are employed. The first tank entered is fortesting the product gas composition. Compounds indicative of the level of destruction are measured with a gas chromatograph hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are also measured. If these tests are unsatisfactory, the gas is sent to a backup storage tank for recycle to the TRBPs or preheater. If the tests are...

To study the effect of the Ru/Al Oj catalyst on hydrogen yield for refomung of glucose in supercritical water, the experiments were compared to reactions with and without catalytic runs imder identical conditions. Typical product distributions are shown in Table 6.9 for experiments with and without a Ru/Al Oj catalyst at 973 K with 1 wt.% glucose feed (Byrd et al., 2007). There was a significant reduction in carbon monoxide and methane yields in the presence of the catalyst. The main products of the reaction were hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The low carbon monoxide yield (0.1% by vol.) indicates that the water-gas shift reaction approaches completion. 

Chloroform in aqueous solutions at concentrations ranging from 1 to 10% of the solubility limit were subjected to y rays. At a given radiation dose, as the concentration of the solution decreased, the rate of decomposition increased. As the radiation dose and solute concentration were increased, the concentrations of the following degradation products also increased methane, ethane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and chloride ions. Conversely, the concentration of oxygen decreased with increased radiation dose and solute concentration (Wu et al, 2002).

Type 4A sieves. The pore size is about 4 Angstroms, so that, besides water, the ethane molecules (but not butane) can be adsorbed. Other molecules removed from mixtures include carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia, methanol, ethanol, ethylene, acetylene, propylene, n-propyl alcohol, ethylene oxide and (below -30°) nitrogen, oxygen and methane. The material is supplied as beads, pellets or powder.
