Method for operating an industrial plant and installation

Abstract

A method of operating an industrial installation comprising a source of blast furnace gas, a coke dry quenching unit and a sorption-enhanced water-gas shift reactor, the method comprising the ordered steps of: (a) feeding a stream of blast furnace gas from the source of blast furnace gas to a cooling chamber of the coke dry quenching unit to quench coking reaction; (b) collecting a stream of enriched blast furnace gas exiting the cooling chamber; and (c) feeding the collected stream of enriched blast furnace gas to the sorption-enhanced water gas shift reactor thereby producing a CO2-rich stream and a H2-rich stream.
