1,237,768. Making combustible gas. SOC. CHIMIQUE DE LA GRANDE PAROISSE AZOTE ET PRODUITS CHIMIQUES. 3 Sept., 1968 [12 Sept., 1967], No. 32274/70. Divided out of 1,237,767. Heading C5E. An apparatus for catalytically steam reforming hydrocarbons to make a gas containing H 2 and CO by the process described in the parent Specification, comprises a reactor 21 internally lined at 22 with heat-insulating material and containing a fluidized bed of catalyst on grids 28, 29. The reactor is heated by electric resistances 25 in tubes 24, and the internal pressure in the tubes 24 is substantially equal to the pressure in the reactor. The catalyst is as described in the parent Specification. Hydrocarbon feed is mixed with nitrogen under pressure, see Fig. 1 (not shown), and vaporized, mixed with steam, and the mixture led through superheaters to the reactor. |
