Method and reactor assembly for the processing of hydrocarbon fuels by pre-reforming to produce an anode feed gas for use in connection with a fuel cell system, said method comprising the steps of a) treating the hydrocarbon fuel with steam, with steam and hydrogen or with syngas, or with any combination thereof, in a pre-reformer system in order to convert the fuel to syngas and to remove at least part of the sulfur species from the fuel, and b) feeding the syngas obtained in step (a) to the anode inlet of a fuel cell system, wherein the pre-reformer system comprises two or more interconnected treatment zones, each of said zones being individually replaceable. |
