A stand-alone IkW integrated fuel processor for gasoline, incorporating an autothermal reformer followed by high- and low-temperature WGS reactors, was reported by Qi et al. [85]. The start-up of the ATR reformer lasted less than 5 min and stabilized in around 50 min for the whole system.

Designed substrate-only fuel processor and devised control strategies for fuel processor and FCPS. Tested partially integrated fuel processor (version 1) and demonstrated 74% H2 efficiency (at high temperature shift exit). 

The STAR fuel processor represents a culmination of three years of intensive R D and design efforts. Prior to their use in the integrated fuel processor, all components were tested in the MPR. Figure 4 compares the expected and obtained performance of the water-gas-shift catalyst in the MPR. Similarly, the MPR testing validates the desulfurizer performance data collected on the bench scale reactor (Table 2). The sulfur capacity was the same in both the MPR and the bench scale reactor.

Systems Analysis Figure 1 shows a concept identified by NETL for a integrated fuel processor/ fuel cell system targeted for diesel APUs. There are several favorable attributes of this system. For example, startup occurs by firing an internal combustor in the dual reactor reformer. This provides heat to the ATR reformer (via conduction) as well as supplying heat to the fuel cell cathode via direct exhaust from the combustor or preheated air from the heat exchanger (optional). If necessary, the ATR is fired in a partial oxidation mode to aid in heatup and to provide heat to the anode side of the...

Motorola cooperated with Engelhard and the University of Michigan to develop a microstructured steam reformer in a project funded by the US Department of Commerce s Technology Administration [55]. The integrated fuel processor-fuel cell system consisted of an evaporator, a combustor, a reformer, heat exchangers, insulation layers and the fuel cell. Ceramic technology was used. The device had a maximum power output of 1W [56].
