The invention concerns a method for combined production of hydrogen and
carbon dioxide from a mixture of hydrocarbons wherein the residual PSA is
treated to produce a carbon dioxide-enriched fluid, and wherein: the
residual PSA is compressed to a pressure such that the partial pressure
of the CO2 contained ranges between about 15 and
40 bar; the residue is subjected to one or more condensation/separation
steps with production of CO2-rich condensate(s)
and a purge of noncondensable gas; the purge of noncondensable gas is
preferably treated to produce a H2-rich permeate
which is recycled to the PSA, and a residue which is recycled to syngas
generation, Preferably, the condensate(s) are purified by cryogenic
distillation to produce food grade CO2. The
invention also concerns an installation for implementing the method.
