The paper describes a new design for a reforming system for converting hydrocarbon fuels into pure hydrogen. The system is based on an autothermal reforming (ATR) reactor operating at elevated pressures followed by membrane-based hydrogen separation. The high-pressure membrane discharge stream is combusted and expanded through a turbine generating additional power. Process simulation modeling illustrates the effect of pressure and other operating parameters on system performance and demonstrates a system reforming efficiency approaching 80%. When coupled with a PEM fuel cell and an electrical generator, fuel to electricity efficiency is above 40%. Other anticipated benefits of the system include compact size, simplicity in control and fast start up.
