Steam Reforming

Heatric Steam Reforming Technology

 Stand alone system
 all steam is raised internally
 Includes pre-reforming, reforming, water gas shift & CO preferential oxidation
 Simple robust control through configuration and contact arrangements, even at turndown
 Designed to avoid carbon formation
 Up to 85.2% design efficiency (LHV) - 95.5% of theoretical maximum

Steam Methane Reforming System

  

Within the reformer module, special fluid circuitry provides:  Splitting of anode offgas into staged combustion, giving an ascending temperature profile  Distribution and mixing of fuel into combustion air prior to each combustion stage       Efficient recovery of heat from flue gas and syngas for feed heating, steam raising and pre-reforming:  High grade heat used for high grade energy user - reforming  Pre-reforming converts C2+ in the feed to methane  Pre-reforming ensures low carbon activity above 600°C - reduced coking risk  Heat recovery sequence maintains desired temperature profile, even during turndown
5kW Demonstration Unit
	This 5kW SMR fuel processing system is based on a stand-alone stationary fuel cell power generation concept. It will provide a hydrogen rich stream with low enough levels of carbon monoxide for a PEM fuel cell. It is highly efficient, with mostly passive control built into the hardware. Its construction is robust and durable and it is designed and manufactured generally in accordance with ASME VIII, division I.
