Type of article: Article

Summary

On site generators (natural gas reformers) provide hydrogen for most of the growth: while hydrogen liquefaction plants in the US and Europe are operating at less than full capacity. Papers have been published on concepts and costs for the "hydrogen economy" utilizing liquefiers that are six times larger than the largest existing liquefier. However, some users and industrial gas companies around the world wish to evaluate the economics of small- and medium-size hydrogen liquefaction systems. The information presented in the article describes these smaller liquefiers, that is, up to five tpd or 700 MMSCFY.
