Sorption-Enhanced Steam Reforming Of Hydrocarbons With Autothermal Sorbent Regeneration In A Moving Heat Wave Of Catalytic Combustion Reaction, Andrey N. Zagoruiko, Alexey G. Okunev

Andrey N Zagoruiko

Novel technological concept of sorption-enhanced hydrocarbon steam reforming with autothermal regeneration of the carbon dioxide scavenger in the moving super-adiabatic heat wave of the exothermic catalytic combustion reaction performed directly inside the adsorption-catalytic bed is presented. Process modelling results, confirming the capability and high efficiency of the proposed technological approach, are discussed. It is shown that proposed approach opens the way for creation of cheap, reliable and energy-saving adiabatic packed bed methane processors of unlimited processing capacity.
