Steam reforming or steam methane reforming (SMR) is a method of producing hydrogen by water splitting. At high temperatures (700 – 1100 °C) and in the presence of a metal-based catalyst, steam reacts with methane to yield carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Steam reforming of natural gas is the most common method of producing commercial bulk hydrogen.
The process for reacting a hydrocarbon fuel, such as natural gas, with steam to produce hydrogen as a product. This is a common method for bulk hydrogen generation.
Catalytic process for converting a mixture of steam and hydrocarbon to synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
A process for separating hydrogen from a hydrocarbon fuel, typically natural gas, in the presence of steam.
The process for reacting a hydrocarbon or alcohol fuel, such as natural gas or methanol, in the presence of steam to form hydrogen as a product. This is the commonly preferred method of bulk hydrogen generation. search
A reaction used for the manufacture of hydrogen, by reacting steam with natural gas at high temperature.
Steam reforming is the reaction of a hydrocarbon fuel with water to produce hydrogen. More hydrogen is produced for the same amount of fuel than by autothermal reforming or partial oxidation but heat input is required to continue the reaction.
Steam reforming, hydrogen reforming or catalytic oxidation, is a method of producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons. On an industrial scale, it is the dominant method for producing hydrogen. Small-scale steam reforming units are currently subject to scientific research, as way to provide hydrogen to fuel cells.
