Filed:
Oct 10, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/419169
Inventors:
Thomas J. Houghton - North Salt Lake UT
International Classification:
C10G 4500
US Classification:
208209
Abstract:
Apparatus for controlling pressure in a combination hydrodesulfurization and reforming process wherein the pressure of a hydrogen-rich gas source from the reforming process is adjusted by coordinately manipulating a vent control valve for the hydrodesulfurization process and a vent control valve for the reforming process in a manner that insures maximum utilization of available hydrogen for desulfurization before any of the hydrogen from the reforming process is vented through its own vent valve.
