What is a Steam Methane Reformer?

Steam methane reforming (SMR) is a chemical process used to produce hydrogen rich synthesis gas (syngas) from suitable hydrocarbon feedstocks including natural gas, biogas, naphtha, and process off gases. This endothermic process involves catalytically reacting methane and other hydrocarbon contents of the feedstock gas with steam at high temperatures and required pressures to produce a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, called syngas. The syngas is processed further and synthesized into an end-product, e.g. Ammonia, Methanol, Hydrogen or GTL via syngas preparation and product synthesis sections. Being endothermic, the SMR is accomplished either in a fired furnace only, in an adiabatic vessel (autothermal) or using a combination of the two reforming steps, as best fit for each product. The SMR section is always the most critical part of the process from efficiency, process integration, reliability, and project execution point of view.
