Abstract

<PICT:0668978/III/1> A cyclic reforming process for the production of a gas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide from a hydrocarbon gas such as natural gas comprises, in one part of the cycle, passing hot combustion gases serially through a heat storage bed and a catalyst bed and, in another part, passing natural gas with steam through the heat storage bed wherein the mixed gases are preheated, and then through the catalyst bed wherein the reforming of the gases occurs. The process is carried out in apparatus consisting of a refractory lined shell 1 provided with two arches 16 and 17, the lower arch supporting a bed 15 of refractory material and the upper a mass 4 of catalytic material, for example, metallic nickel deposited on alumina. The process is started by admitting oil or gas through line 5 and air through line 6 so that the fuel burns, the hot gases heating the beds 4 and 15 to about 1600 DEG F. and escaping through stack 7. After a steam purge, hydrocarbon gas and steam are admitted through lines 8 and 9, air also entering through line 10 to maintain the operating temperature. The gases are preheated in bed 15 and react in bed 4 to give a gas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which discharges through line 11. In an example, natural gas was reformed to give a gas containing 40.7 per cent hydrogen and 12 per cent carbon monoxide.
