Kinetic Based Simulation of Methane Steam Reforming and Water Gas Shift for Hydrogen Production Using Aspen Plus

This paper presents the kinetic-based simulation of methane steam reforming (MSR) from natural gas and water gas shift (WGS) reaction for hydrogen production. It is found that most simulations of these reactions were either done as balance or equilibrium based. Although it provides simplicity, such...
