Production of synthesis gas using convective reforming
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7128512
This patent describes a device for the convective reforming of a feed mixture of hydrocarbons and steam into a hydrogen-rich gas. It comprises: an outer shell enclosure comprising two end portions, a cylindrical main body portion, separate inlet and outlet conduit means for the conveyance of a heating fluid and perforated distribution plate means in the inlet and outlet conduit means for delivering the heating fluid substantially uniformly to and from; a core assembly within the outer shell enclosure. The core assembly comprises separate inlet and outlet means at opposite ends for the flow-through of the feed mixture of hydrocarbons and steam, the inlet means consisting essentially of a fluid flow through conduit integrally connected to and able to move in concert with the core assembly, the inlet and outlet means extending through the outer shell enclosure to the outside, and a multiplicity of tubular conduits open to the path of feed mixture flow.
