ReforMax M Methanol Steam Reforming
ReforMax® M is a copper catalyst on a zinc oxide/aluminum oxide support in tablet form, used in methanol steam reforming (MeOH reforming) for hydrogen production.
Steam reforming of methanol, in which methanol is reacted with steam to form CO2 and H2 (CH3OH + H2O -> 3 HMethanol steam reforming (2 + CO2) is used in smaller industrial plants and fuel cells for hydrogen production. It is primarily employed when steam reforming of natural gas followed by water-gas shift (WGS) is not feasible due to lack of access to the natural gas grid, for example, on islands or in mobile applications. When using a copper catalyst, such as ReforMax® M, steam reforming of methanol is carried out at relatively low temperatures of approximately 300°C to ensure a high active surface area throughout the catalyst’s lifetime.
