Abstract

There is described a reforming unit for hydrogen production and a power generation device incorporating at least the reforming unit for generating electricity. The reforming unit generally has a catalytic burner defining a burner cavity; a reaction assembly within the burner cavity and in thermal communication therewith, the reaction assembly including; a reactor conduit extending annularly around an axis and axially between an input port and an output port, the input port being fluidly coupled to a wet fuel source supplying wet fuel, the reactor conduit having distributed therein a plurality of catalyst elements; and a syngas conduit extending along the axis, within the reactor conduit and in thermal communication therewith, the syngas conduit having an input port fluidly coupled to the output port of the reactor conduit, and an output port; the catalytic burner having a plurality of heating devices surrounding the burner cavity.
