Hydrogen compression of centrifugal compressor

Method of elevating the hydrogen compression of a gaseous feed containing a predominant proportion by volume of hydrogen, includes adding a hydrocarbon to the stream prior to compression. The hydrocarbon is in the 30-80 molecular weight range and the feed contains 1-12% by volume of the hydrocarbon....

Summary:Method of elevating the hydrogen compression of a gaseous feed containing a predominant proportion by volume of hydrogen, includes adding a hydrocarbon to the stream prior to compression. The hydrocarbon is in the 30-80 molecular weight range and the feed contains 1-12% by volume of the hydrocarbon. The feed stream is compressed by passing it through a multiple stage centrifugal compressor. The added hydrocarbon elevates the hydrogen compression. Low initial costs and low maintainence costs. Simple, reliable equipment.
