Abstract

See full text

A steam reformer for converting a reactor fuel into a product gas includes a catalyst bed which is formed from catalyst blocks which are configured so as to match the configuration of the catalyst bed chamber. The steam reformer side walls have a thermal coefficient of expansion which is greater than the thermal coefficient of expansion of the catalyst. By forming specifically configured catalyst bed blocks, slumping and subsequent damage of the catalyst blocks is eliminated.
