Explore the PSA hydrogen purification process: adsorption of impurities at ~20 bar, automatic vessel cycling with desorption, 99.9% purity, and reusing off gas as fuel in the reformer, PLC controlled.
Explore how natural gas becomes hydrogen through key equipment: hydrodesulfurization, pre-reforming, steam-methane reforming, shift conversion, PSA purification, plus heat recovery units.
Dear Students,
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Today, hydrogen energy is a new generation clean energy solution that contributes to sustainability and significantly reduces carbon emissions.
This course “Hydrogen Production from Natural Gas” will help you understand the fundamental principles behind hydrogen energy and its role in building a cleaner, lower-carbon future.
The main focus of the course is Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), which remains the most widely used and scalable technology for hydrogen production in refineries and petrochemical plants.
Unlike many introductory courses that only present general concepts, this course explains the real process technology used in industrial hydrogen units. We will walk step-by-step through the main process sections used in hydrogen plants — from feed gas treatment and pre-reforming to steam methane reforming, shift conversion, hydrogen purification using PSA, and waste heat recovery.
You will also understand the key chemical reactions involved in hydrogen generation and how these reactions occur inside industrial reactors.
Key topics are explained through practical examples, process flow diagrams PFDs and main equipment list, so that you can gain a solid understanding of the process design technology.
After this course, you will confidently answer essential questions such as:
How is hydrogen produced in modern plants?
What are the main hydrogen production method?
What safety measures are critical in hydrogen handling?
Did you know that the hydrogen molecule (H₂) is the smallest of all substances?
What is the list of main process equipment used in hydrogen production?
We will also explore common troubleshooting techniques used in industrial hydrogen plants and learn how engineers solve operational problems safely and efficiently.
This course also includes:
A glossary of technical terms
Main Equipment list
Process Flow Diagram available to download in PDF
A Udemy Certificate of Completion
A 30-Day Money Back Guarantee
I hope that you find this course useful and that the knowledge you gain will help you grow professionally and understand the role of hydrogen in the energy transition.
