PP-III-1for the traditional scheme of the industrial process organization: two adiabatic stages andintermediate heat removal.Novel schemes of the heat-transfer with use of the heat-conducting compositecatalytically active materials [iii,iv] may allow approaching the optimal temperature field infixed catalyst bed and improving the process performance. The application of such schemesrequests new high-performance catalysts, which can stably operate in a wide temperaturerange, e.g. those described in recent patents [v,vi].The topic of the present study is considering the variants of the catalyst layer organizationwith controlled temperature profile close to optimal for the WGSR process. The results permitconcluding that the use of high-performance catalysts in apparatuses with controlledtemperature profile can greatly increase efficiency of the WGSR stage of the natural gasutilization in the schemes of ammonia syntheses and hydrogen production as well as inschemes of electric power production using the fuel cells.Referencesi Pismen М.К.
