As discussed earlier in the semester, a hydrotreater removes sulfur from organic compounds and saturates aromatics and olefins for fuel production. To perform these reactions, H; must be added to the molecules. To get this needed hydrogen, Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) is used to convert steam and methane to CO; and Hz. CH, + 2H:0 → CO: + 4H: Suppose a membrane separator, operating at 8 atm and 350 °F, is used to separate the H; and CO.. Assuming the fluid behaves as an ideal gas, determine: a. SCFH going into the separator b. The true volumetric flow rate going into the separator c. The molar flow rates of H; and CO, leaving the separator d. The mass flow rate of H; and CO: leaving the separator

Transcribed Image Text:As discussed earlier in the semester, a hydrotreater removes sulfur from organic compounds and
saturates aromatics and olefins for fuel production. To perform these reactions, Hz must be added
to the molecules. To get this needed hydrogen, Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) is used to
convert steam and methane to CO2 and H2.

Expert Solution

Step 1
Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub parts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.
At the standard temperature of fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit the SCFM is calculated .SCFM is the standard cubic feet per minute. The SFM is obtained from the conversion of the rate in pounds per hour. The reaction is used to obtain the hydrogen, carbon dioxide molar rate.
