Reforming Portal Page

Reforming is the process of 'cracking' or 'reforming' fuels into different chemical forms. Commonly, hydrocarbon fuels are reformed to seperate hydrogen from carbon and oxygen in order to form a fuel cell feedstock.

A reformer is a device in which fossil fuels are reacted together with heat and water vapour in order to form a hydrogen-rich fuel gas, usually for use in fuel cell systems. Reformers often use a catalyst.
