Syngas | Reforming

An efficient and reliable conversion of the feedstock has a huge impact on the economics of the plant. Our different reforming technologies are tailor made to meet the requirements of the customer without compromising on reliability. For chemicals application, we propose the radiant wall reformer which may also include the reforming of CO2. For large size syngas units, units producing syngas for fuels, we propose the two-step reforming lay-out or the standalone ATR. These reforming technologies together with high active reforming catalysts will provide customer with proven and highest possible energy efficient solutions.
