摘要

Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) has developed autothermal reformer (ATR) units based on its patented Microlith^庐 technology and demonstrated stable, coke-free operation using JP-8 consisting of up to 70聽ppm_w sulfur for 1100聽h with complete fuel conversion and reforming efficiency of 鈭?5%. The feasibility of operating ATR reformers with distillate fuels containing higher sulfur (up to 400聽ppm_w) has also been demonstrated for 55聽h, while producing syngas (i.e., H₂ and CO) at >80%reforming efficiency and at complete fuel conversion. Reformer test results, demonstrating water neutral operation, catalyst sulfur tolerance, removal of sulfur to <1聽ppm_v, and maintenance of higher hydrocarbons to levels acceptable for fuel cell stacks, provide a measure of the ATR performance that can be expected under realistic conditions with readily available fuels. The results also give valuable insights to the system design and operation strategy for integrated power generation systems.
