reforming catalyst, the feed gas is partially oxidized. The mixed stream
is then sent to the reforming exchanger consisting of tubes filled with
catalysts. This is designed to minimize the buildup of pressure and to
expand separately without any constraint. Finally, the heat for reforming
comes from an autothermal reformer effluent. Figure 7 shows the
designs features in an integrated system. Figure 8 shows a selection
of ammonia reactors.
