- Bireforming is the combination of Steam reforming and Dry reforming.
Fundamentally, Steam reforming produces exess amount of H2, and Dry reforming does insufficient.
So, both complement each other.
- Since the optium reaction temperature of both is close, these reaction can be conducted
in one step.
Both reactions are endothermic, so the energy must be added from external sources, for example
atomic energy, renewable resources, etc.
- There are no byproducts in this process, and according to the author, this is present one of the most
efficient ways to synthesize methanol from CO2! (utilizing hydrogens of methane to the maximum)
(3) Trireforming
- Trireforming is the combination of all three basic processes.
