Naphtha reformer for Hydrogen production

To reform natural gas or naphtha which are the rich source of hydrocarbon are reformed to produce Hydrogen using a reforming equipment which consists of side fired radiant burners that externally heat feedstock. There will be about six rows of burners across four sides and 15 burners in each row. Feed passes through the catalyst bed, CH4(Methane) or Naphtha vapours which are converted to methane reacts with steam to give Hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
