Advanced oil rig hydrogen build

So I wanted to try this out this playthrough pre nuclear actually pre power generation iii. I wanted to use the oil rig maxed out at 240/60.

Im basically running 4x sets of Distilleries to naptha. Heavy oil to naptha as well. Fuel goes off to s storage naptha is calculated to exactly 7 crackers making hydrogen and gas fuel.

All the gas fuel gets hit with another set of crackers (7) again to get hydrogen it calls for 7.5 but I plan to route that extra .5 of a reformers worth to the gas rotary kiln things and burn off if its idle.

The hydrogen fully powers the entire setup and a couple extra things that need steam as well like paper mill. Its also powering 2 more hydrogen boilers for power so something like 3.5 boilers just in this closed loop with around 21 hydrogen getting burned off.

For Diesel, trucks will grab from the storage its dumping into and overflow is going to get cracked back to add to the hydrogenallowing more boilers to go online with hydrogen. Which also reduces needs to get water as each boiler recirculates 12 water.

Plastics tho.. I looked at plant based and other than disinfectant it seems a good bit inefficient at plastics scale so if im not mistaken I can crack back from diesel a little naptha for plastic after the loop instead of the first closed loop relying on varying plastic use.

So discussion/questions here:

1.)reformers are power hungry/worker hungry and im using 14 just in the closed loop before touching overflow diesel. Im tempted to test a multi recipe where I cut half of those to just 7 with a loop of cracking to gas fuel then to hydrogen which would be a significant savings. Its dealing with liquids but I wonder if its possible reliably.

2.) Something tells me at some point running gas fuel in the generators and using the co2 once I get that tech (im close) to keep it pollution free might be better. This would also free up a ton of hydrogen reformers/ workers as well.

3.) I know alot of people use the hydrogen to switch vehicles over but I find their pollution kinda moot compared to air pollution.

• note i plan to supplement this with 2 contracts one is the sour water >slag and the other is ammonia > food packs which i planned day one with the farms.

That should get me more sulfur and ammonia which I can convert excess sulfur to slag feeding back into the sour water making sulfur a non issue even if I could just open a sulfur mine but its secondary to the ammonia im after. Which can get used out of the main loop to get more hydrogen.
