METHOD OF STARTING-UP OF THE EVAPORATION INSTALLATION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C01B3/38 B01J7/00 F23D5/00 

FIELD: chemical industry; methods of production of hydrogen.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of chemical industry, in particular, to production of hydrogen. The method of start up of the evaporation installation for formation of the hydrocarbon-air mixture decomposed in the reformer for production of hydrogen contains the combustion/mixing chamber, in which through a device with inlet openings the air is fed; the porous evaporating medium and the first heating device added to it; the tool of a surface ignition for inflaming of hydrocarbon-air mixture present in the combustion/mixing chamber. The method includes the following stages: a) heating and evaporation of the liquid hydrocarbon or the hydrocarbon-containing liquids; b) mixing of the vapor produced at the b) stage with the air; c)inflaming of the mixture produced at the b)stage for starting up of a combustion procedure of the mixture; d)keeping up of the combustion procedure up to the end of the given duration of time and-or until the given temperature will be reached in one or several given zones of the installation; e) the termination of the combustion process after the given duration of time and-or after reaching the given temperature. The invention ensures an increase of efficiency of the process due to the temperature drop in the zone of the catalytic reaction.

EFFECT: the invention ensures an increase of efficiency of the process due to the temperature drop in the zone of the catalytic reaction.
