Autothermal reforming at low steam-to-carbon ratio The majority of the world’s syngas-producing plants apply steam methane reforming, with the specific type of reforming technology depending on application and operating conditions. Topsoe offers several types of reforming technologies and has decades of experience ensuring that the optimal design is selected for each individual project. Topsoe’s SynCOR™ autothermal reforming technology (previously called ATR) is often the preferred technology in many of today’s world-scale projects because it enhances economy of scale by maximizing single-line capacity while significantly reducing capital and operating costs. Topsoe’s SynCOR™ process not only offers the market’s lowest cost of ownership but is also supported by 70 years of proven reliability and safe, continuous operation.
