Steam reforming — (SR), hydrogen reforming or catalytic oxidation, is a method of producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons. On an industrial scale, it is the dominant method for producing hydrogen. Small scale steam reforming units are currently subject to scientific… … Wikipedia
Natural gas storage — Natural gas, like many other commodities, can be stored for an indefinite period of time in natural gas storage facilities for later consumption. Contents 1 Usage 2 Measures and definitions 3 Types 3.1 … Wikipedia
Hydrogen production — Hydrogen is commonly produced by extraction from hydrocarbon fossil fuels via a chemical path. Hydrogen may also be extracted from water via biological production in an algae bioreactor, or using electricity (by electrolysis), chemicals (by… … Wikipedia
Gas to liquids — (GTL) is a refinery process to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer chain hydrocarbons such as gasoline or diesel fuel. Methane rich gases are converted into liquid synthetic fuels either via direct conversion or via… … Wikipedia
Catalytic reforming — is a chemical process used to convert petroleum refinery naphthas, typically having low octane ratings, into high octane liquid products called reformates which are components of high octane gasoline (also known as petrol). Basically, the process … Wikipedia
Ammonia production — Because of its many uses, ammonia is one of the most highly produced inorganic chemicals. There are literally dozens of large scale ammonia production plants worldwide. The worldwide production in 2004 was 109,000,000 metric tons. [… … Wikipedia
Amine gas treating — Amine gas treating, also known as gas sweetening and acid gas removal, refers to a group of processes that use aqueous solutions of various amines to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from gases. It is a common unit process… … Wikipedia
Water gas shift reaction — The water gas shift reaction (WGS) is a chemical reaction in which carbon monoxide reacts with water to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen::CO + H2O → CO2 + H2The water gas shift reaction is a part of steam reforming of hydrocarbonscite web | url … Wikipedia
Hydrogen economy — The hydrogen economy is a proposed system of delivering energy using hydrogen. The term hydrogen economy was coined by John Bockris during a talk he gave in 1970 at General Motors (GM) Technical Center.[1] Hydrogen advocates promote hydrogen as… … Wikipedia
petroleum refining — Introduction conversion of crude oil into useful products. History Distillation of kerosene and naphtha The refining of crude petroleum owes its origin to the successful drilling of the first oil well in Titusville, Pa., in 1859. Prior to… … Universalium
