The catalytic reforming process for producing hydrogen for the vegetable oil and other industries is reviewed. The chemistry of the steam‐hydrocarbon process and the present status as practiced in the U.S. are outlined. Results of research and development work are presented and a new process utilizing the Girdler űmodularƇ reformer is compared to standard designs. The advantages of űlow‐tempƇ carbon monoxide conversion are also discussed. The importance of considering the safety and reliability of new designs is stressed.
