Abstract

1470631 Steam reforming hydrocarbons METALLGESELLSCHAFT AG 4 March 1975 [18 March 1974] 9034/75 Heading C5E [Also in Division B1] A catalytic reactor for reacting hydrocarbons with steam at >700‹ C. and at a pressure of 5-80 kg./cm.<SP>2</SP> over a nickel catalyst, e.g. 5-20% nickel on alumina contained in reaction tubes 3 to produce a carbon monoxide and hydrogen containing gas, which tubes can be heated by a gas at 800‹ C. which has been used to cool a nuclear reactor, e.g. helium, comprises a housing 1 into which the reaction tubes extend for part of their length in a heating zone defined in the housing, whereas the other part is disposed outside the heating zone, each tube having one or more inlet conduits 7 and an internal conduit 9 for discharging product gas. Valves 10, 11, 14 and 15 may be provided for opening and closing the feed and discharge conduits of the reaction tubes individually or in groups. The upper part of reaction tubes 3 may be arranged in a steam generator, and may contain an inactive filler, e.g. ceramic elements, or another nickel catalyst of high activity, e.g. 40-70% nickel on magnesium silicate.
