Catalytic autothermal reforming of methane was studied over a commercial rhodium catalyst as a function of feed composition and oven temperature. The process is carried out in a catalytic fixed bed reactor placed in a tubular oven. Temperature profile of the catalyst bed was measured by IR thermography and product composition was measured with a continuous gas analyzer. The effect of water addition on rhodium catalyst was investigated maintaining feed preheating within the limits obtainable with typical internal heat recovery reactors. The effect of water addition on product composition was investigated as a function of reactor thermal level, regulated by acting on oven temperature

Abstract
Catalytic autothermal reforming of methane was studied over a commercial rhodium catalyst as a function of feed composition and oven temperature. The process is carried out in a catalytic fixed bed reactor placed in a tubular oven. Temperature profile of the catalyst bed was measured by IR thermography and product composition was measured with a continuous gas analyzer. The effect of water addition on rhodium catalyst was investigated maintaining feed preheating within the limits obtainable with typical internal heat recovery reactors. The effect of water addition on product composition was investigated as a function of reactor thermal level, regulated by acting on oven temperatureI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
