ABSTRACT:
A fuel reformer which can improve fuel cost is provided. The fuel reformer1is formed by filling a granular catalytic material10provided with a metal oxide layer having an oxygen deficit tilting structure formed on the surface by shot peening in a process chamber24formed in a casing20having a fuel inlet21and an outlet22.The fuel introduced into this fuel reformer1is activated by contact with the metal oxide layer12formed on the surface of said catalytic material10so that the fuel cost of the combustion apparatus to which the fuel is supplied is improved.
