Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pre-processing assembly and method for processing fuel feedstock containing oxygen and hydrocarbons having higher and lower hydrocarbon content for a fuel cell, wherein the pre-processing assembly has a deoxidizing bed for reducing oxygen in the fuel feedstock and a pre-reforming bed for reducing higher hydrocarbon content in the fuel feedstock and wherein the deoxidizing bed and the pre-reforming bed are disposed within a common reaction vessel such that the fuel feedstock first passes through the deoxidizing bed and thereafter through the pre-reforming bed. The pre-reforming assembly may further include a propane processor bed for processing propane and propylene in the fuel feedstock, where the propane processor bed is disposed within the common reaction vessel with the deoxidizing bed and the pre-reforming bed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A pre-processing assembly for processing fuel feedstock for a fuel cell, said pre-processing assembly comprising: a supply unit for supplying the fuel feedstock to the pre-processing assembly, wherein the fuel feedstock includes oxygen and hydrocarbons having higher and lower hydrocarbon content and the hydrocarbons having higher hydrocarbon content include at least one of propylene and propane; a deoxidizing unit for reducing the oxygen in said fuel feeds…
