Abstract
A process for the production of hydrogen that purifies a synthesis gas stream, containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and combustibles, in a PSA unit. The PSA unit produces at least three streams: a substantially pure hydrogen product stream, a combustible-rich first tail-gas stream, and a carbon dioxide-rich second tail gas stream.
