Pre-Reforming Catalyst is used to produce methane-rich gas by pre-conversion of naphtha, light oil, liquefied petroleum gas, light hydrocarbon and other hydrocarbon feedstock with steam. It also could produce hydrogen, ammonia synthesis, methanol synthesis and natural gas for household use.

The reaction is summarized as below:

2CnHm+3nH2O→nCO+nCO2+(3n+m)H2

CO+3H2→CH4+H2O+206 KJ/mol

CO2+4H2→CH4+H2O+165 KJ/mol

CO+H2O→CO2+H2+41 KJ/mol
