Method for the catalytic steam reforming of a hydrocarbon

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the steam reforming of a hydrocarbon, comprising: passing a feed stream comprising hydrocarbon gas and steam into at least one reaction chamber; said reaction chamber comprising a catalyst that catalyzes the reaction of said hydrocarbon gas and steam to produce a gaseous mixture comprising at least carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas; wherein the contact time of the reactant with the catalyst is less than 0.3 seconds; transferring heat from at least one heat exchanger into the at least one reaction chamber; and producing more than 0.01 SLPM of hydrogen gas per cubic centimeter of reactor volume, where reactor volume is defined as the sum of the volume of the reaction chamber(s) and heat exchange chamber(s) including the volume of chamber walls.
