Methane-Steam Reforming

Abstract

Abstract For more than 40 years the catalyzed hydroearbon-steam reforming reaction has been of commercial value. The first units commissioned in the 1930s were run on light hydrocarbon feedstock at atmospheric pressure [l], It took until 1962 for a 15-atm steam reformer to come on-stream in the United Kingdom using liquid hydrocarbon feedstock [2–4].
