ABSTRACT:
A system for steam reformation of a hydrocarbon includes a combined oxidizer/burner unit connected downstream of a reformer and in thermal contact therewith. The combined unit functions during reformation reaction operation of the reformer as a CO oxidizer and simultaneously as a catalytic burner. During reformation reaction operation, a gas containing oxygen is added to the combined oxidizer/burner unit that has an oxygen component that is greater than the oxygen component required for CO oxidation alone. The system may be used, for example, in fuel-cell-operated motor vehicles to obtain hydrogen from methanol carried in liquid form that is required for the fuel cells.
