-At least one reformer (30) for converting a flow containing
hydrocarbon feedstock (1) into a reformed gas flow (32) containing
hydrogen,
carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide and at least one
hydrocarbon as an
impurity via conversion with
oxygen (O2)-rich vapor, wherein the reformer (30) includes an exothermic
oxygen-based autothermal reforming (ATR) or
partial oxidation (POX) reforming and a heat
recovery section (40), and -At least one reformer ( Before entering 30), a
heating furnace (90) configured to preheat a flow containing
hydrocarbon feedstock (1), at least one water-gas shift (WGS) reactor (50) for converting
carbon monoxide in the reformed gas flow (32) into a shifted gas flow (51) containing additional
carbon dioxide and
hydrogen, and a first product flow (61) located downstream of the WGS reactor (50) and which removes
carbon dioxide and
hydrogen from the shifted gas flow (51) and enriches carbon dioxide and hydrogen - A hydrogen and carbon dioxide
recovery unit (60) configured to generate a second generation flow (62), a waste flow (63) in which both hydrogen and carbon dioxide have been depleted, - a compressor (70) for compressing a portion (65) of the
waste gas flow (63) from the hydrogen and carbon dioxide
recovery unit (60) into a compressed gas flow (71), and - a membrane
separation system selective for
hydrogen permeation, to which the compressed gas flow (71) is supplied and which generates a hydrogen-enriched permeate (82) flow and a hydrocarbon-enriched concentrate (81) flow. A
hydrogen production plant comprising: a stem (80); a passage for supplying at least a portion of the hydrogen-enriched permeate (82) to the furnace (90) so that it can be used as a low-carbon fuel by the furnace (90); and a passage for recycling the hydrocarbon-enriched concentrate (81) to a hydrocarbon feed (1) via a pipeline (83), and / or to a reformer (30) via a pipeline (85), and / or to the inlet of a water-gas shift reactor (50) via a pipeline (87).
