PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control a reformer system to make the output constant by detecting the deterioration of a hydrogen separation membrane. SOLUTION: In the reformer system provided with the hydrogen separation membrane 3 for permeating and separating hydrogen in a reformed gas produced by a reforming reaction and a combustor 5 for combusting the un-permeated waste gas which is not permeated through the hydrogen separation membrane 3, an apparatus 10 for measuring the temperature of an outlet of the combustor 5 is provided and at least one of the pressure of the un-permeated waste gas and the supply quantity of fuel to the reformer system is increased correspondingly to the increase of the outlet temperature of the combustor 5. As a result, the quantity of hydrogen to be permeated and separated through the hydrogen separation membrane is recovered to keep the output constant. |
