Fuel processor for producing hydrogen and apparatus suitable for use in such processor

摘要

Fuel processor for the production of a gas stream comprising hydrogen. A mixture comprising hydrocarbon, steam and oxygen is reacted in a catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) (11). After the CPO (11), the mixture is passed through a number of high temperature CO-Shift units (16.1-16.3) that are arranged in series. Also described are a fuel processor characterised by the way of saturating hydrocarbon with water and a device for generating a third and a fourth stream from a first and second stream.
