How do you calculate Steam Carbon Ratio
How do you calculate Steam Carbon Ratio
(OP)
I need to calulate the steam required to achieve a 4.0 steam to carbon ratio on a mole basis in a hydrogen plant.
I have DHA (detailed hydrocarbon analysis)of the feed stock.
What are the steps to calculate the ratio?
Thanks all

Steam moles
----------------- > 4
Carbon moles
Steam = H20 moler flow
Carbon = any hydrocarbon beside CO2
eg; if you have 3mol/hr of C2H6 = C moles = 3*2=6 mol/hr
and you need to sum all the hydrocarbon to have the Total C mol/hr

Attached is what we've worked up.
I think it is in-line with your direction.
Please let me know if you see obvious errors.
