Zone reactor ammonia reforming catalyst: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inefficient thermal distribution during ammonia decomposition leads to incomplete fuel conversion and high energy waste. Precise spatial control within the reactor zone optimizes the endothermic reforming process to ensure high-purity hydrogen yields.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Zone reactor ammonia reforming catalyst?

Catalyst deactivation during startup

(7)evidences

Loss of active sites during ammonia decomposition prevents sustained hydrogen production. Restoring surface morphology and catalytic activity ensures long-term reactor efficiency.

Excessive process carbon emissions

(4)evidences

Endothermic reforming processes traditionally rely on high-carbon fuel combustion for heat. Reducing these emissions addresses environmental regulatory constraints and carbon intensity limitations.
