Simulation of Natural Gas Steam Reforming to Obtain High-Purity Hydrogen

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Methane steam reforming to produce hydrogen for fuel cells was simulated. The process was implemented in four reactors in the three stages of methane steam reforming, water – gas shift to CO2, and selective oxidation of CO.
