Abstract: A process for the co-production of hydrogen and power through the integration of a hydrogen production unit and a power generation unit is provided. The hydrogen production unit comprises a gas heated reformer, a water gas shift reactor, and a hydrogen separator which produces a low-BTU hydrocarbon fuel stream and a purified hydrogen stream. The low-BTU hydrocarbon fuel stream, along with a compressed oxygen-containing stream extracted from the power generation unit, is combusted to provide heat to the reformer.

Abstract: A reformer for a solid state polymer electrolyte fuel cell includes a burner 1 forming a flame, a reforming portion 2 surrounding the burner and having an exhaust port 22 and exhausting a reformed gas from the exhaust port 22; and a heat exchanger 4 having a higher temperature side, the higher temperature side being connected directly with the exhaust port 22 of the reforming portion 2, the heat exchanger 4 establishing heat exchange between the reformed gas and a raw material gas.
Abstract: A method for upgrading a hydrocarbon in which an oxygen source and a hydrogen source are ignited and the resulting synthetic gas is used to initiate a predominantly gas phase heavy oil upgrade reaction. The upgrade reaction is quenched with an additional source of un-upgraded hydrocarbon.
