The system (40) provides for directing a hydrogen-rich reformate fuel stream from a reformer (42) through a sulfur removal bed (50) having a sulfur removal material consisting of manganese oxide secured to a support material. A regeneration fluid is intermittently directed through the bed (50) to remove sulfur and regenerate the bed. A regeneration-produced sulfur containing stream is then directed into a sulfur capture bed (54) having a heat source (60) and a flush inlet (62) and flush outlet (64). The sulfur capture bed (54) includes sulfur capture material consisting of nickel oxysulfide catalyst supported on silicon carbide. When the heat source (60) heats the sulfur capture bed (54) a flush liquid passed through the flush inlet (62), capture bed (54), and flush outlet (64) to transport elemental sulfur to a sulfur storage container (50).
