An apparatus (100) including a plurality of modules stacked end-to-end along a common axis and a multi-step process of converting hydrocarbon fuel (F) to a substantially pure hydrogen gas (P) using said apparatus (100). Each module includes a shell having an interior space defining a passeway for the flow o f gas from a first end of the shell to a second end of the shell opposite the first end, and a processing core being contained within the interior space f or effecting a chemical, thermal, or physical change to a gas stream passing axially through the module. In one embodiment, said plurality of modules including a first module (110) containing a partial oxidation catalyst and steam reforming catalyst, a seond module (120) containing a first heat exchanger (121), a third module (130) containing a desulfurization agent, a fourth module (140) containing an inert material for mixing components of ga s stream passing there through, a fifth module (150) containing a water gas shift catalyst bed, a sixth module (160) containing a second heat exchanger (161) and a seventh module (170) containing a carbon monoxide oxidation catalyst bed. |
