3.1.1 General presentation

The conversion of carbon monoxide by steam is an important source of hydrogen, and therefore naturally belongs downstream of the reformer. This reaction accounts for around 15% of total hydrogen production.

The reaction involving the conversion of carbon monoxide by water vapour has been known and used for a very long time. Its simplicity and the absence of secondary reactions have led to the Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction being considered:...
