PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent performance reduction of a reforming apparatus caused by an oxidation and a sintering of a catalyst, to stabilize the performance of and to enhance a durability of a reforming device in which both partial oxidation reaction and vapor-reforming reaction are used. SOLUTION: This reforming device is provided with a reforming apparatus 5 in which both partial oxidation reaction and vapor-reforming reaction are used, a reformed material feeding system 50 for feeding a reformed material to the reforming apparatus 5, and an oxygen-feeding system 60 for feeding an oxygen or an air to the reforming device 5. The device is also provided with a reformed gas recycle piping 71 for recirculating a portion of the reformed gas discharged from the reforming apparatus 5 to a reforming catalyst layer of the reforming apparatus 5. After it is detected that the reformed material is fed to the reforming apparatus 5 by a reformed material feeding detector at the time of activation of the device, the oxygen or the air is fed from the oxygen-feeding system 60 to the reforming apparatus 5. |
