APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING FUEL

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for treating fuel is provided to maintain high hydrogen yield and low carbon monoxide yield and to maintain sufficient temperature difference between an auto-thermal reforming reaction and hydrogenation reaction. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus(100) for treating fuel comprises an auto-thermal reformation reactor(10) which conducts an auto-thermal reforming reaction; a hydrogenation reactor(30) which is located opposite the auto-thermal reformation reactor; and an internal heat exchanger(20) between the auto-thermal reformation reactor and the hydrogenation reactor. The result of the auto-thermal reformer is supplied to the hydrogenation reactor through the internal heat exchanger, as a reactant after heat exchanging.
