Abstract

Ammonia formation in autothermal reforming process was studied in Nuvera's Modular Pressurized Flow Reactor facility. Experiments were conducted to study and compare different catalysts for their ammonia formation characteristics. Different hydrocarbon fuels were reformed and effects of fuel structure and operating conditions on ammonia formation were investigated. Reformate generated was analyzed for ammonia contamination by using FTIR spectroscopy.
