Detecting Total Sulfur in HyCO (syngas)
Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) is a method of producing syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reacting hydrocarbons with water. Usually natural gas is the raw material. The main purpose of this technology is the production of hydrogen. Undesirable sulfur compounds present in the feed stream can reduce conversion and cause corrosion. Continuously detecting total sulfur content allows the operator to take early action to preserve catalyst life and increase yield.
