STEAM REFORMING METHOD AND APPARATUS INCORPORATING A HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCK

摘要

A fuel processing assembly adapted to produce hydrogen gas from a carbon-containing feedstock. The fuel processing assembly includes a fuel processor (16), such as a steam reformer. The fuel processing assembly further includes a feed assembly (12) adapted to deliver a carbon-containing feedstock, such as a hydrocarbon, to the fuel processor (16). In some embodiments, the fuel processing system includes a fuel cell stack (20) that includes at least one fuel cell adapted to produce electrical power from hydrogen gas produced by the fuel processor.
