Production of synthesis gas by steam- and CO2-reforming of natural gas
The simulation of a steam/CO2 reformer is based upon detailed intrinsic kinetics of reforming, including those of carbon deposition and -gasification. The internal diffusion limitations are accounted for through the modeling. The influence of the steam/methane and the CO2/methane ratio on the synthesis gas production and composition and on the net rate of carbon formation is illustrated.
