Abstract

A reformer, particularly an autothermic secondary reformer, is equipped with a central gas feed pipe penetrating the catalyst bed from the lower side and connected to a mixing and reaction chamber. A feeding device for the oxidizing agent is arranged at least at one level above the catalyst bed and penetrates reaction chamber wall from the external side, the device consisting of at least two inlet nozzles. The outlet end of centre feed pipe is located near the level of the feeding device for the oxidizing agent or above said level.
