Methanol | Reforming

An efficient and reliable conversion of the feedstock has a huge impact on the economics of the plant. Our different reforming layouts can be tailor made to meet the requirements of the client without compromising on reliability. Our proven pre-reformer is coupled with the most optimal reforming configuration for the individual plant. Topsoe offers autothermal reforming, two-step reforming and tubular reforming solutions together with our portfolio of specialized burners and high active reforming catalysts contribute to improve the operation of the plant.
