Hydrogen is one of the key raw materials used in the refinery. It is used in various process units: Hydrocracker, Aromatic plants, to name a few. Since the process is dynamic, the demand for H2 keeps on varying, and excess is vented out either to fuel gas or to flare to control the Header pressure. The good news is that the venting of the H2 can be reduced. In some cases, it can be reduced to close to zero.
