The invention relates to a process for obtaining a
hydrogen stream (1) in a
plant (2), wherein a carbon-containing
energy carrier stream (3) and an
oxygen stream (4) are fed from an
oxygen recovery arrangement (5) of the
plant (2) to an ATR reactor arrangement (6) of the
plant (2) for obtaining a synthesis gas stream (7) comprising
hydrogen and carbon oxides, wherein the ATR reactor arrangement (6) affords the synthesis gas stream (7) from the
energy carrier stream (3) by autothermal reforming with the
oxygen stream (4), so that a catalytic
partial oxidation in particular provides the heat required for the endothermic reforming reactions, wherein the synthesis gas stream (7) is fed at least partly to a separating device (8) of the plant (2) for separating the synthesis gas stream (7) into the
hydrogen stream (1) including hydrogen and a purge stream (9) including carbon oxides, wherein the plant (2) has a steam heater (13), which steam heater (13) has at least one
superheating stage (14a, b) for obtaining a respective superheated output steam stream (15a, b) from a respective input steam stream (16a, b), which input steam stream (16a, b) is conducted through the steam heater (13) until the superheated output steam stream (15a, b) is obtained, and wherein the plant (2) includes a
turbine arrangement (12) for generating electrical power, which
turbine arrangement (12) is driven by at least one superheated output steam stream (15a, b), characterized in that the at least one
superheating stage (14a, b) has at least two heating sections (17) in each case, which heating sections (17) are guided through an inner region (18) of the steam heater (13), in which inner region (18) the heating sections (17) are heated by a burner (19) of the steam heater (13), in that the at least one
superheating stage (14a, b) has a quench section (20) which is arranged between the at least two heating sections (17) in terms of process technology, in which quench section (20) steam obtained in
