Abstract

See full text

A method for producing hydrogen in a steam methane reformer is disclosed. The method provides for the steps of feeding a mixture of fuel and air to a steam methane reformer; feeding a mixture of steam and hydrocarbons to the steam methane reformer; contacting the steam and hydrocarbons with a metal monolith supported catalyst; providing an electric current to the metal monolith supported catalyst; and recovering the hydrogen. The electric current applied to the metal monolith supported catalyst will encounter electrical resistance which will create heat. This heat can supplement that provided for by the reaction of the fuel and air allowing for a reduction in fueling costs as well as treatment costs of the resultant flue gas.
