Abstract

To check feasibility of SMART(Steam Methane Advanced Reforming Technology) system, conceptual design and sensitivity analysis of operating variables have been performed based on the design program of two-interconnected fluidized beds. Among three configurations of two-interconnected fluidized beds systems, the bubbling-bubbling system was selected as the best configuration. Process design results indicate that the SMART system is compact and feasible. Based on the selected operating conditions, the effects of variables such as process capacity, pressure, and weight percent of $CO_2$ absorbable component have been investigated as well.
