N2 - The BASF dual layer monolith catalyst has been successfully commercialized for the auto-thermal reforming of natural gas. The layered catalyst comprises a monolith substrate containing one layer of catalytic partial oxidation catalyst that is in intimate contact with a second, catalytic steam reforming catalyst layer. The design enables the efficient integration of heat and eliminates the need for sequential and separate reactors for the two reactions. The suitability of the catalyst for the auto-thermal reforming of oxygenated fuels was studied using acetic acid as a model compound for the carbohydrate components of pyrolysis oil. Parametric studies were carried out to determine the optimum operating conditions for maximization of the conversion of acetic acid and the yield of synthesis gas (H 2/CO mixture) as well as minimization of coke formation. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2012 AIChE Spring Meeting and 8th Global Congress on Process Safety (Houston, TX 4/1-5/2012).
