steam methane reforming (smr)

What are the Key Reactions in SMR?

SMR primarily involves two key reactions:
Steam Reforming Reaction: CH4 + H2O ⇌ CO + 3H2
Water-Gas Shift Reaction: CO + H2O ⇌ CO2 + H2
The steam reforming reaction produces hydrogen and carbon monoxide, while the water-gas shift reaction further converts carbon monoxide and steam to additional hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Both reactions are endothermic, requiring heat input to proceed.
