The natural system for reforming naphtha is the well-known design of autothermal or partial oxidation (POX) reformers used in large stationary installations to generate refinery hydrogen supply. A pilot plant evaluation using a proprietary fuel reformer developed by Nuvera to compare the effectiveness of this system in terms of hydrogen yield and purity from candidate fuels including naphtha, methanol, and gasoline has been conducted. Fuels were prepared in Saudi Arabia by distillation from crude, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and reforming in commercial refining units, and hydrogenating in a pilot plant. This presentation will outline the results from a comparative study of these and other candidate fuels for hydrogen generation using autothermal-partial oxidation reforming and water-shift reaction technologies. We will compare the fuel processor results from the standpoint of operations, hydrogen purity, and economics ER -
