<p>An apparatus (200) for carrying out a process of converting hydrocarbon fuel (F) to a hydrogen rich gas (P) including a first heat exchanger (201) for heating the hydrocarbon fuel to produce a heated hydrocarbon fuel, a first desulfurization reactor (202) for reacting the heated hydrocarbon fuel to produce a substantially desulfurized hydrocarbon fuel, a manifold for mixing the substantially desulfurized hydrocarbon fuel with an oxygen containing gas (A) to produce a fuel mixture, a second heat exchanger (203) for heating the fuel mixture to produce a heated fuel mixture, an autothermal reactor (206) including a catalyst for reacting the heated fuel mixture to produce a first hydrogen containing gaseous mixture, a second desulfurization reactor (207) for reacting the first hydrogen containing gaseous mixture to produce a second hydrogen containing gaseous mixture that is substantially desulfurized, a water gas shift reactor (208) for reacting the second hydrogen containing gaseous mixture to produce a third hydrogen containing gaseous mixture with s substantially decreased carbon monoxide content, and selective oxidation reactor (211) for reacting the third hydrogen containing gaseous mixture to produce the hydrogen rich gas (P).</p> |
