Aspen Plus Simulation of a Sorption-Enhanced Steam Methane Reforming Process in a Fluidized Bed Reactor Using CaO as a Sorbent for CO₂ Capture by Fiorella Massa, Fabrizio Scala, Antonio Coppola

“…This partial compensation of the negative pressure effect demonstrated that the intensification process has the potential to produce blue hydrogen while allowing for less severe operating conditions. Indeed, when moving traditional SMR from 1 to 10 bar, an average decrease of y_H2, X, and η by −16%, −44%, and −41%, respectively, was recorded, while when moving from 1 bar SMR to 10 bar SE-SMR, y_H2 showed an increase of +20%, while X_CH4 and η_H2 still showed a decrease of −14% and −4%.…”
