Abstract

Liquid petroleum fuels with their high energy densities, availability and the existing infrastructure for delivery and distribution will likely play a major contributing role in hydrogen production in the near to medium term future. This paper discusses Thermo Neutral Reforming (TNR) for producing hydrogen-rich gas from liquid petroleum-based fuels. Results of several parametric tests with various liquid hydrocarbon fuels under high gaseous hourly space velocities on the TNR catalyst system showed hydrogen yield approaching thermodynamic equilibrium. Thermal cycling, and long term catalyst stability verified good catalyst performance with heavy naphtha.
