Abstract
Disclosed is a new process and apparatus for steam reforming of any vaporizable hydrocarbon to produce H.sub.2 and CO.sub.2, with minimal CO, and no CO in the H.sub.2 stream, using a membrane steam reforming (MSR) reactor and flameless distributed combustion (FDC) which provides great improvements in heat exchange efficiency and load following capabilities to drive the steam reforming reaction. The invention also pertains to a zero emission hybrid power system wherein the produced hydrogen is used to power a high-pressure molten carbonate fuel cell. In addition, the design of the FDC-MSR powered fuel cell makes it possible to capture good concentrations of CO.sub.2 for sequestration or use in other processes.
