Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention is a process for producing an essentially pure carbon monoxide (CO) product and an essentially pure hydrogen product by reforming a hydrocarbon such as methane and steam in the presence of a reforming catalyst to produce a reformate product enriched in CO carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The, reformate is subjected to an integrated series of separation steps and carbon dioxide present in a portion of the waste effluent recovered from such series of spearation steps is shifted to CO in an integrated sorption enhanced reaction (SER) process.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 10, 1996 and granted November 30, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 10, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 10, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
