Abstract:
Process for suppression of soot formation in the preparation of hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide rich gas by partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon feedstock, comprising the steps of in a reactor with an upper and a lower portion, arranging at least on surface of the reactor upper portion catalytic material being active in steam reforming of hydrocarbon; introducing the feedstock and an oxygen containing atmosphere into the upper portion of the reactor; partially oxidizing the feedstock with oxygen in the upper portion of the reactor; and contacting a part of the partially oxidized feedstock with the reforming catalyst in the reactor upper portion.
Abstract:
An autothermal reforming process and apparatus comprising a combustion chamber, at least one catalytic reactor, a duct for leading combustion product from the combustion chamber to the catalytic reactor or reactors, and withdrawal ducts for withdrawing the product of the catalytic reactor or reactors.
