Abstract

L'invention concerne une installation (10) permettant de produire de l'hydrogène à partir d'un gaz d'alimentation comprenant des hydrocarbures à chaîne courte. Ladite installation comprend un réacteur (14) définissant des canaux qui permettent de traiter le gaz d'alimentation en trois étages successifs, les canaux de traitement de gaz d'alimentation étant dans chaque cas adjacents à des canaux de transfert de chaleur respectifs. Les étages de traitement consistent: a) à préchauffer le gaz d'alimentation (16b); b) à soumettre un mélange de vapeur et de gaz d'alimentation chauffé à un reformage (18b) en présence d'un catalyseur de reformage tout en fournissant de la chaleur provenant des canaux adjacents (18a) dans lesquels se produit une combustion catalytique; et c) à soumettre les gaz produits par reformage à une réaction de conversion à la vapeur d'eau (20b) en présence d'un catalyseur de conversion, tout en éliminant la chaleur dans les canaux adjacents (20a) afin de générer de la vapeur. Le réacteur est, de préférence, un réacteur intégré (14) unique dans lequel les trois étages de traitement (16, 18, 20) successifs se produisent de sorte que les transferts de chaleur entre des fluides variés sont également intégrés. Ce réacteur peut être formé par empilement de plaques, les canaux de traitement et les canaux de transfert de chaleur étant définis alternativement dans l'empilement.
