METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC GAS ENRICHED WITH HYDROGEN AND CARBON MONOXIDE, BY MEANS OF CATALYTIC REFORMING OF HYDROCARBON-CONTAINING RAW MATERIALS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C01B3/38 B01J35/08 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to the field of chemistry and may be used to produce synthetic gas. Hydrocarbon raw materials mixed with water vapor are passed through heated pipes of reactor, inside of which catalyst is installed in the form of layer of granules including nickel, at that sections of peripheral granules surfaces are in direct heat-conducting connection with internal surfaces of pipe walls. Granules are arranged in the form of balls with cylindrical channels, at that diametre of ball is selected in the interval of 1.0·10^-3-2.0·10^-3 from the height of catalyst layer, and diametre of channel - in range of 0.1-0.5 from diametre of ball. Content of nickel in balls makes 9-25 wt % in terms of nickel monoxide. Alumina is used as base of ball material.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase process efficiency.
