Abstract

EL AZUFRE Y LOS COMPUESTOS DE AZUFRE SE RETIRAN DE UNA CORRIENTE DE GAS, POR EJEMPLO, UNA CORRIENTE DE GAS COMBUSTIBLE DE HIDROCARBURO, A FIN DE HACER QUE LA CORRIENTE DE GAS SEA ADECUADA PARA UTILIZARLA EN UNA CENTRAL ELECTRICA DE CELULAS DE COMBUSTIBLE. EL GAS NATURAL Y EL HIDROGENO RECICLADO ENTRAN EN EL CONJUNTO HIDRODESULFURIZADOR A UNA TEMPERATURA DE APROXIMADAMENTE 120° F. LA CORRIENTE DE GAS SE CALIENTA A UNA TEMPERATURA DE UNOS 625° F, DESPUES DE LO CUAL PASA A UN LECHO DE DESULFURIZACION (44) FORMADO POR UNA MEZCLA DE CATALIZADOR DE PLATINO DEPOSITADO SOBRE GRANULOS DE ALUMINA (46) Y UNA ABSORBENTE DE SULFURO DE HIDROGENO Y OXIDO DE ZINC EN FORMA DE GRANULOS (48). EL GAS SE ENFRIA A UNA TEMPERATURA DE SALIDA DE UNOS 525° F CUANDO PASA A TRAVES DEL LECHO DESULFURIZADOR. ESTE LECHO SE COMBINA CON UN CONVERTIDOR DESPLAZADOR (6), QUE REDUCE EL MONOXIDO DE CARBONO DE LA CORRIENTE DE GAS DESULFURIZADO DESPUES DE QUE ESTA ULTIMA HA PASADO A TRAVES DE UN LECHO REFORMADOR DE VAPOR.
