Small-Scale Reforming for On-Site Hydrogen Supply

• This chapter describes small-scale reforming for on-site production of hydrogen. By small scale is meant a production rate higher than 50Nm3h-1. First, an overview of the reformer technology and feedstock options is given and hydrogen purity issues are discussed. Second, examples of suppliers and cost trends are presented. Finally, research related to progress in materials, development of more robust catalysts, reactor improvements, more compact clean-up components as well as improved safety and control methods is discussed. Technology options for small-scale carbon capture are briefly presented.
