Reformer Feedwater Filtration
Particulate material carried in the raw water feed can contaminate the demineralisation unit impacting its efficiency and potentially inflicting permanent damage. High performance and a smaller vessel footprint are important to maintaining a clean stream that protects downstream equipment.
Parker’s XtreamPure high flow liquid filter can be used for particulate filtration of reformer feedwater. The system utilises large diameter filter cartridges, significantly increasing the flow of liquid that can be processed and reducing the number of cartridges to changeout versus traditional filters.
Liquid flows through the cartridge from the “inside to outside” ensuring that contaminants are fully retained. By capturing contaminants in this way, service (cartridge swap-out) is a much cleaner and safer process. A wide range of filter cartridge options are available, enabling Parker to customise a solution according to customer needs.

Natural Gas Filtration
Natural gas feed to the reformer and that used for fuel in the process is loaded with moisture and particulates from piping and other equipment along the transportation network and distribution pipelines. To protect the reformer from damage to ensure optimal performance, particulate and water must be efficiently removed from the gas stream.
The Gemini Gas Coalescer incorporating PEACH coalescing technology has been proven in the Oil and Gas market for many years - delivering superior performance in a trouble-free design. By combining multiple filtration and separation technologies into one system, customers can benefit from increased efficiency, reduced complexity, cost and reduced footprint.

Gas Filtration Prior to Pressure Swing Adsorber
Protecting the PSA from water droplets carryover is key to achieving maximum CO2 adsorption. This is because the higher the pressure, the more gas is adsorbed but when the pressure drops, the gas is released. The stage 1 gas coalescer Spartan will effectively remove water droplets downstream of the PSA and from the PSA tail gas.
The hydrogen gas contains both particulate carryover from the PSA as well as moisture both of which must be removed to protect the compressor. The Gemini Gas Coalescer incorporating PEACH coalescing technology has been proven in the Oil and Gas market for many years - delivering superior performance in a trouble-free design. By combining multiple filtration and separation technologies into one system, customers can benefit from increased efficiency, reduced complexity, cost and reduced footprint.

Sealing Technology for Gray Hydrogen Production
Sealing solutions are required in many areas of the steam reforming process, both in the reformer itself and in adjacent assemblies such as line connectors, valves, pumps, or storage systems.
Featured Sealing Solutions
Parker Prädifa offers an extensive range of sealing solutions for a wide variety of steam reforming applications. High-performance FFKM seals are used for sealing hydrogen at up to 240 °C. In other places with lower temperature requirements, more economical EPDM or FKM O-rings can be installed. Using seals made of butyl materials can minimise hydrogen leakage due to particularly high permeation resistance, which may be of crucial importance in storage systems for instance.
