A burner assembly (400') receiving at least one liquid and/or gaseous fuel stream (408) mixing said stream with air (410) and combusting the mixed stream to provide heat for a fuel processor. The burner assembly fuel stream (408) may originate as at least ...

A fast start-up catalytic reformer (50) for producing hydrogen-rich reformate from hydrocarbon fuel includes a reactor (10) having an inlet (62,64) for receiving a flow of fuel and a flow of air, a reforming catalyst (16) disposed within a reforming chambe...

Processing for starting up a reactor (3), especially a reformer in a gas generating device in a fuel cell arrangement, comprises introducing a rising volume stream of educts (CH3OH) to be converted in a reactor into part of the waste gas stream flowing int...
