Abstract

The sorption enhanced reformer concept breaks the thermodynamic limits of steam methane reforming and water-gas shift reactions with selective CO2 removal to produce more H2. In this paper, we propose a dynamic kinetic model for sorption-enhanced steam reformers (SERs) integrated with biomass gasifiers. An analysis of operating conditions was conducted to examine high purity hydrogen production. The kinetic model was validated with published literature results at different reactor pressures (5-20 bar), steam/carbon ratios (2-5), and reactor temperatures (673K–1023K). This study shows that biomass gasifiers can be integrated with SER reactors to produce high purity H2.
