Autothermal Reforming Technology

Autothermal reforming (ATR) works on the heat neutral reforming condition to produce synthesis/ hydrogen gas via partial oxidation of hydrocarbon fuel with steam, oxygen and carbon dioxide. The process is advantageous over other reforming process because of its heat neutral condition. It is inferior to steam reforming due to comparatively less hydrogen yield.

  • Works on autothermal reforming condition: heat neutral.
  • Low/zero energy consumption.
  • Rapid start-up and small unit size.
  • Works as stand-alone system.
  • Ideal for off grid and small scale application because of easy startup and shut down.
  • Flexible to liquid as well gaseous fuels.
  • Finds application as a hybrid system with IC engines and fuel cells.
  • Extremely new in India.
