Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3425028A1] In order to provide a technique for supplying fuel gas obtained by reforming heavy hydrocarbon gas and containing methane gas at a high concentration, there are provided a reforming device 10 including a gas generating section 11 configured to effect a decomposing reaction in which the heavy hydrocarbon gas desulfurized by a desulfurizing device 20 is decomposed into methane through steam reforming thereof to generate methane-containing mixture gas and a resynthesizing section 12 for resynthesizing methane from carbon monoxide and hydrogen contained in the mixture gas by a catalyst. There are also provided a heavy hydrocarbon gas supplying passage L1 for supplying heavy hydrocarbon gas to the reforming device 10 via the desulfurizing device 20, a heat exchanging section for effecting, within the resynthesizing section 12, heat exchange between the mixture gas supplied from the gas generating section 11 and the heavy hydrocarbon gas before its desulfurization by the desulfurizing device 20 which flows in the heavy hydrocarbon gas supplying passage L1, a recycling passage L4 for recycling a portion of the mixture gas generated in the gas generating section 11 to the heavy hydrocarbon gas supplying passage L1, and a fuel gas supplying passage L5 for supplying the fuel gas discharged from the resynthesizing section 12 to a combustion device (gas engine GE).
