Techno-Economic Analysis of Hydrogen Production from Swine Manure Biogas via Steam Reforming in Pilot-Scale Installation

The main purpose of this paper is the techno-economic analysis hydrogen production from biogas via steam reforming in a pilot plant. Process flow modeling based on mass and energy balance used to estimate total equipment purchase operating costs production. plant installation produced 250.67 kg/h 1260 biomethane obtained after purification 4208 m3/h using heat integration process. Despite high investment cost, shows great potential for reduction conversion hydrogen, an attractive economic path with ecological possibilities. waste into possibility increasing importance global economy. In future, such will be expanded CO2 module increase efficiency further reduce greenhouse gases economically viable manner.
