A 5 kWelwater gas shift reactor was integrated with a 5 kWelpreferential oxidation reactor for the purposes of reducing the carbon monoxide levels in a reformate exit stream to levels below 100 ppm. The integrated system worked best at partial load with CO concentrations being reduced to 40 ppm at 60% load level and S/C= 3.2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
