The invention relates to a reformer for converting fuel and oxidant to reformate, said reformer comprising a reformer zone (12), to which fuel and a mixture of oxidant and at least partially oxidised fuel from an oxidation zone connected upstream can be supplied for catalytic conversion into the reformate. To improve the efficiency of the reforming process, the reformer zone (12) has a first catalytic reaction zone (32) and a second catalytic reaction zone (48) in the direction of the gaseous stream, said zones being separated from one another by a non-catalytically active homogenisation zone (44) that is connected between them for homogenising the gaseous components emanating from the first reaction zone (32). The embodiment according to the invention permits a homogenisation of the gases after a first partial reforming process, said homogenisation leading to a more efficient second partial reforming process.

L'invention concerne un reformeur servant à transformer du combustible et un agent oxydant en reformat. Le reformeur selon l'invention comprend une zone de reformage (12) dans laquelle peuvent être amenés du combustible ainsi qu'un mélange provenant d'une zone d'oxydation située en amont et constitué d'agent oxydant et de combustible au moins partiellement oxydé, en vue de la transformation catalytique en reformat. L'invention vise à accroître l'efficacité du reformage. A cet effet, la zone de reformage (12) présente, dans le sens du flux gazeux, une première (32) et une deuxième (48) zone réactionnelle catalytique qui sont séparées l'une de l'autre et entre lesquelles s'intercale une zone d'homogénéisation (44) qui n'est pas catalytiquement active et qui sert à homogénéiser des constituants gazeux sortant de la première zone de réaction (32). Ainsi, selon l'invention, on procède après un premier reformage partiel à une homogénéisation qui permet un deuxième reformage partiel plus efficace.
