METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING A FUEL SOURCE TO HYDROGEN

摘要

An apparatus (1) for producing hydrogen gas, wherein the apparatus includes a gasification unit (12) or a reforming unit (12) configured to form a first syngas (20) and a first clean-up section (14) is coupled to the gasification unit for acidic gas removal. The first clean-up section (14) is configured to form a second syngas (38) and includes at least one of a high temperature shift catalyst (36) and a low temperature shift catalyst (34) . The apparatus also includes a second clean-up section (16) coupled to the first clean-up section for acidic gas removal.
