Report Abstract
This report provides a feasibility study of Hydrogen production from vacuum residue in the United States using a non-catalytic partial oxidation process. In this process, vacuum residue is converted to syngas, which is submitted to shift conversion for hydrogen enrichment.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Hydrogen production and related Hydrogen production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Hydrogen production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Hydrogen plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Hydrogen plant operating costs (Opex).
The Hydrogen production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Hydrogen plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Hydrogen plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview

Product
Hydrogen. Hydrogen (a.k.a. H2), the lightest of all gases, is an important chemical feedstock, that undergoes many reactions, forming compounds with almost all elements. Since H2 is an energy carrier, it has been considered for stationary power and transportation applications.
Raw Material
Vacuum Gas Oil. Gas oils refers to oil fractions, from straight-run and cracked origins, whose boiling points range between kerosene and lubricating oil boiling points. Such petroleum distillation products are primarily used as automative fuels and heating fuels. Vacuum gas oil (VGO), specifically, is a more viscous gas oil fraction, which boils between about 420 °C and 570°C. It is obtained from a vacuum crude distillation unit, operating at low, negative gauge pressure.
