Autothermal reforming system with integrated shift beds, preferential oxidation reactor, auxiliary reactor, and system controls

摘要: An integrated hydrocarbon reforming system for use with an associated fuel cell, the including a gas generator having partial oxidation chamber, steam and shift beds, preferential reactor, optionally second reactor chiller condenser interposed in-line two reactors, auxiliary preheating, combustion, stream generation capabilities, fluid whereby water, steam, fuel, air can be effectively shared between components increased efficiencies operation. The is configured to generate hydrogen-rich reformate by carrying out at least one of non-catalytic thermal oxidation, catalytic reforming, any combinations therof. Within beds catalyst used promoting water reaction in reformate, while heat exchanger first mass two-phase therein exchange beds.
