A methane refomer is a device based on steam reforming or autothermal reforming and is a type of chemical synthesis , which can produce pure hydrogen gas from methane using a catalyst . There are two methane reformer technologies autothermal reforming ATR and steam methane reforming SMR . Both methods work by exposing methane to a catalyst usually nickel at high temperature and pressure. Steam reforming main article Steam reforming Steam reforming SR , sometimes referred to as steam methane reforming SMR uses an external source of hot gas to heat tubes in which a catalytic reaction takes place that converts steam and lighter hydrocarbons such as methane, biogas or refinery feedstock into hydrogen and carbon monoxide syngas . Syngas reacts further to give more hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the reactor. The carbon oxides are removed before use by means of pressure swing adsorption PSA with molecular sieves for the final purification. The PSA works by adsorbing all impurities from the syngas stream to leave a pure hydrogen gas. Autothermal reforming Autothermal reforming ATR uses oxygen and carbon dioxide or steam in a reaction with methane to form syngas . The reaction takes place in a single chamber where the methane is partially oxidized. The reaction is exothermic due to the oxidation. When the ATR uses carbon dioxide the H sub 2 sub CO ratio produced is 1 1 when the ATR uses steam the H sub 2 sub CO ratio produced is 2.5 1 The reactions can be described in the following equations, using CO sub 2 sub 2CH sub 4 sub O sub 2 sub CO sub 2 sub &rarr 3H sub 2 sub 3CO H sub 2 sub O And using steam 4CH sub 4 sub O sub 2 sub 2H sub 2 sub O &rarr 10H sub 2 sub 4CO The outlet temperature of the syngas is between 950 1100 C and outlet pressure can be as high as 100 bar unit bar . ref http www.topsoe.com site.nsf all BBNN 5PFHYF?OpenDocument topsoe.com, ATR ref The main difference between SMR and ATR is that SMR uses no oxygen.

Cleanup rewrite date February 2011 Paul Methuen Floruit fl. 1566 , was a Scottish reformer. Methuen was originally a baker in Dundee , was an early convert to the new doctrines. Although imperfectly educated, his eloquence and intimate acquaintance with scripture enabled him to render such good service to the protestant cause that he became obnoxious both to the prelates and the secret council and the latter not only issued an order for his apprehension, but also forbade the people to listen to his orations or to harbour him in their houses. Methuen avoided arrest through the intrepidity of Provost Haliburton, and to show their disappointment at his escape, the secret council fined the town of Dundee in the sum of 2,000l. During the war between Scotland and England, which began in the autumn of 1556, and continued through the following year, the protestants enjoyed considerable liberty, and their numbers rapidly increased. Methuen, William Harlaw, John Douglas, and John Willock now began to preach with greater publicity in different parts of Scotland. On 10 May 1559 Methuen and other prominent reformers were placed on their trial before the justiciary court at Stirling for usurping the ministerial office, for administering without the consent of their ordinaries the sacrament of the altar in a manner different from that of the catholic church, in the burghs of Dundee and Montrose, and for convening the subjects of the realm in those places, preaching to them erroneous doctrines, and exciting seditions and tumults.
