1 Haldor Topsoe Making hydrogen with different feeds and technologies Agenda Brief about Haldor Topsoe Making hydrogen from alternative feed methanol Making hydrogen with other traditional feeds and combinations of feeds Adding pre-reforming Advantages with different reformer designs Traditional radiant reformer with steam export Convection reforming - no steam export Combining radiant and convection reforming flexible steam export - Bajonet reformer 1

2 Haldor Topsøe in brief Established in 1940 by Dr. Haldor Topsøe. Private 100% family owned company Global market leader in heterogeneous catalysis with a 75 year long track record 2,533 employees in 11 countries across five continents. 870 in production HQ in Lyngby, Denmark. Production in Frederikssund, Denmark and Houston, USA. New factory to open in China in 2015 More than 30% of worlds hydrogen is produced using catalyst s from Haldor Topsoe. Topsoe has licensened more than 260 hydrogen plants since 1960 More than 50% of the worlds diesel with 50 wt ppm Sulphur or less is produced using Haldor Topsoe catalysts And more than 100 hydrotreaters licensed in the last 10 years.

4 Enabling reliable production of hydrogen from different feedstocks in the most cost efficient way Production plants are based on in house developed syngas solutions. Solutions covers both technologies and catalysts. The hydrogen production process can be used to convert different feedstocks, from natural gas to heavy naphtha, into the purest hydrogen possible. Alternative feed is methanol. It is possible to ensure minimum energy consumption and emissions. 4

5 Milestones Haldor Topsoe Start-up of first steam reformer 1957 Start-up of first hydrogen plant 1962 Start-up of first naphtha reformer 1965 Start-up of first plant with methanol feed 1984 Start-up of first pre-reformer 1986 Start-up of first HTCR (Convection reforming) plant 1995 Start-up of first High Flux Reformer 2001 Start-up of first HTER (Exchange reforming) plant 2003 Start-up of first hydrogen plant with second generation HTCR (Convection) 2004 Start-up of first HTER for capacity expansion of existing hydrogen plant 2010 Start-up of first HTER for new hydrogen plant

6 Methanol to hydrogen - an alternative feedstock Smaller oil refineries in Africa will need more hydrogen when producing 50 wt ppm Sulphur Methanol based plant has small capacity that match the extra hydrogen needed for smaller oil refiners Methanol feed is available world wide Easy to operate Easy to install Small plot plan Stand-by operation with start-up in few minutes CH 3 OH 2H 2 + CO - heat CO + H 2 O H 2 + CO 2 + heat 6 CH 3 OH + H 2 O 3H 2 + CO 2 - heat

7 Using Methanol as feed - Compact hydrogen unit main features Capacities of 100 and 600 Nm 3 /h hydrogen Low consumption figures Fully automatic operation from 30 to 100% load Short erection time on site Fast delivery time Easy operation, start, stop, standby & reset alarm A Unique design with a low system volume offers a fast start up, fast load change and low heat loss during stand-by Low maintenance cost 7
