Hydrogen generator having sulfur compound removal and processes for the same

摘要

Apparatus and processes for the generation of hydrogen from hydrocarbon feeds are provided in which organosulfur compound is removed from the feed. The apparatus and processes are particularly advantageous as smaller scale hydrogen generators including those generators intended for residential use to produce hydrogen for fuel cells to produce electricity. In the processes and apparatus, the feed is contacted with solid sorbent to remove organosulfur compound.
