A methane reformer 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.

Famous quotes containing the word reformer:
“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
