Abstract: In this work, a novel loop is designed for simultaneous production of pure hydrogen and synthesis gas (syngas) from a domestic refinery purge gas. The purge gases are the combination of flare gas (consist mainly of methane) and high-temperature flue gas (containing CO2 and steam). The proposed loop including three main parts: 1) flare gas desulfurization unit; 2) CO2 and steam recovery unit and, 3) a membrane reformer for combined dry-steam reforming of methane, heating with high-temperature flue gas. The hazardous hot gases convert to valuable products instead of discharging to the atmosphere.
