Abstract
Steam reforming is an essential process for the manufacture of synthesis gas and hydrogen from hydrocarbons (1). Its applications are widespread in the petrochemical industry as well as in the energy related industries. Most of the world ammonia production is based on steam reforming of hydrocarbons with natural gas being the preferred feedstock. In the petrochemical industry, steam reforming is used for production of syngas for methanol, oxo-synthesis, and for C1-chemistry reactions such as synthesis of acetic acid, etc. Oil refineries use hydrogen from steam reforming for desulphurization and hydrocracking.
