Basics

This is the chemical reacting via various methods of mainly Lighter Hydrocarbons (Most often Methane , but Butane and Propane (And thus potentially LGP ? have been shown to work as well etc) (add citations from other tabs) ) to produce Syngas
If combined with the Water Gas Shift Reaction it can produce mostly Hydrogen as well

One of the most common methods
The reaction is typically conducted with a high pressure mixture of steam and methane are put into contact with a nickel catalyst

Also known as "Dry Reforming" (similar to "Dry Ice" meaning solid co2 )
Is challenging as the hydrogen that is produced tends to react with the carbon dioxide
Uses noble metal catalysts and/or nickel
More sources needed on this; much less straigforeward than steam reforming

Abbreviated as POX
Uses a lean air mix to produce syngas
Can be thermal where it is essentially just a standard lean flame (TPOX), or catalytic (CPOX)where the temperature is lowered via catalysts
Has issues with soot and water vapor buildup suppsoedly (dump sources here)

Autothermal reforming (ATR) uses both oxygen, and carbon dioxide or steam in a reaction with methane to form syngas
Thus can be varied:
- The required H2/CO ratio is provided by manipulating the carbon dioxide or steam
