    Abstract:

Applications: Steam reforming of methane on supported nickel catalyst pellets in fixed bed reactors is a well-established commercial process for producing CO and H2 but suffers from the disadvantage of poor catalyst utilization and heat transfer limitations. A potentially attractive alternative to overcome these limitations is to use metal monoliths coated with noble metal promoted nickel catalysts. In this study, steam reforming of methane will be investigated on metal monoliths coated with Rh or Pt promoted Ni MgAl2O4 and the results compared with the data obtained on powdered catalysts in fixed bed reactors.
Advantages: The promoted catalysts will be thoroughly characterized to explain the promotional effect. For the most active and stable catalyst, the intrinsic kinetics will be determined and incorporated in a model for the monolith reactor. This reactor model will be used to determine the best heat integration strategy for carrying out this reaction on monoliths.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
