[INTRODUCTION]

Greetings to our respected Design 1 instructor, we are pleased to introduce our project entitled
Production of blue Hydrogen from Subbituminous Coal in Cebu.

[TABLE OF CONTENTS]

Ms. Higum will start the first section of this project.

[SLIDE 1]

Since the researchers aim to convert subbituminous coal into synthesis gas or syngas. The
Process Flow Diagram is presented

[SLIDE 2]

consisting of 6 processes involved in Hydrogen production via Coal gasification.

[SLIDE 3]

The Air Separation is the initial step in this process, in which the air travels at a volumetric flow
rate of 23,000 cubic meter per hour with a temperature and pressure of 25 degrees Celsius and
1.01325 bar, respectively. This further assisted with an air blower by increasing the pressure to
1.113 bar. Since the air may contain potential impurities or water from the air storage tank, it is
required to filter first using a gas filter to separate the impurities and the air before entering the
Air Separating Unit or ASU. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is utilized for ASU. Filtered
ambient air is blown out via the compressor to enter the first pressurized vessel/ adsorption
column, which is the AD-01. This equipment adsorbed the Nitrogen gas by the zeolite molecular
sieve and separated the Oxygen into the Buffer tank. The second column allows for equalizing
the pressure building up to the other column. Then, the Oxygen gas is stored in ST-04 and
will be used for the Gasification process.

[SLIDE 4]

The following process is the Coal preparation, wherein the air entering the blower has a
volumetric flow rate of 5000 cubic meter per hour, pressure of 1.01325 bar, and a temperature
of 25 degrees Celsius. As with BW-02, BW-01 has a pressure increase of 1.113 bar to be
blown to the heater. The heater uses a temperature of 280 degrees Celsius to preheat the
air that will be utilized in the drier. Aside from the air inlet, the feed of the drier is wet coal with a
supply of 6250 kilograms at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The purpose of D-01 here is
to remove the moisture of the coal, which comprises water and air that Stream 6 is released into
the atmosphere. Then, the dry coal will become the feed for the gasifier equipment.

[SLIDE 5]

Going to the main process is Gasification. There are three feeds in a gasifier – dry coal, oxygen
gas, and steam. Steam is preheated at 100 degrees Celsius; the same goes with the oxygen
gas at a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius. The Pyrolysis or devolatilization happens in the
SC-01 wherein the coal separates the char for the combustion step, and
the devolatilized gas, which is the vapor that escapes from the coal particle, will go to the
balancing reactor. The char or solid product will undergo two successive steps – combustion
and gasification processes to release the raw syngas. Same with the R-04 product mixed with
preheated steam and Oxygen, streams S-35, S-34, and S-40 will undergo combustion and
gasification processes using R-05 and R-06. The Pyrolysis from R-02 or Balancing reactor,
syngas of R-04 or Gasification Reactor 1, and syngas of Gasification Reactor 2 or R-06 are
mixed and sent to the Water gas shift or WGS reactor. The temperatures set for the WGS
reactor are 700 degrees Celsius, the Balancing and Gasification reactors are 600 degrees
Celsius, and the Combustor is 1000 degrees Celsius. Energy recycling also happens here,
in which SC-01 recycles back the energy output to be reused by R-07.

[SLIDE 6]

Under Sulfur recovery, since R-07 syngas contains hydrogen sulfide, it should be cleaned via
the Claus process. Therefore, a Claus reactor and a series of heat exchangers, specifically
Shell-and-Tube Heat exchangers, are used. The inlet water of S-14 has a mass flow rate of
8000 kilogram per hour for HEX-01, while for HEX-02, the inlet water enters at a flow rate of
4000 kilogram per hour. Both have the same temperature and pressure of 25 degrees Celsius
and 1.01325 bar, respectively. Afterward, the product syngas of S-19 will be sent to a Vapor-
liquid separator to recover the liquefied sulfur and generate the cleaned syngas, which a CL-01
will further cool for the next process.

[SLIDE 7]
For the Gas cleaning process, aside from Hydrogen sulfide removal and sulfur recovery, it is
essential to undergo an absorption process to remove other components from the syngas.
Monoethanolamine or MEA is utilized as an absorbent with a mass flow rate of 100,000
kilogram per hour at 40 degrees Celsius and 1.01325 bar since this is widely used for acid gas
removal or scrubbing systems, particularly hydrogen sulfide. Thus, this allows for enhanced oil
recovery and environmental remediation for the byproduct stream or S-25 of A-01, which will be
treated in a water treatment facility.

[SLIDE 8]

Finally, hydrogen production is similar to the process of ASU, in which PSA is utilized to get the
product, which is hydrogen gas. However, in this case, the compressed clean syngas enters the
adsorption columns using activated carbon as molecular sieve columns. The gas impurities
such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and traces of other gases are adsorbed by the AD-
03 and AD-04 to process the 100% hydrogen product generation, which is equivalent to a mass
of 555.64 kilograms with a basis of 1-hour operation.

Ms. Lorian will further discuss the inflows and outflows of materials to understand the material
and energy balances.
