APPARATUS FOR REFORMING OF FUEL

WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/002812

A1

An apparatus for the reforming of fuels wherein the heat required for a steam reforming reaction forming a hydrogen-rich gas from hydrocarbons and steam, which is endothermic, is supplied by allowing an exothermic oxidation reaction to proceed together with the steam reforming, characterized in that the temperature of a region wherein the exothermic reaction proceeds is prevented from elevating excessively, by (1) increasing a gas flow rate in an upstream side, (2) reducing a catalyst quantity in an upstream side, (3) carrying out heat exchange between an upstream and a down stream, or the like.
