Abstract:
1. A method for producing a product from a hydrocarbon reforming process comprising: combusting a fuel in a combustion chamber, thereby generating a combustion heat and a flue gas having a sensible heat; transferring at least a portion of said flue gas from said combustion chamber to a convection chamber; feeding a first portion of a mixed-feed to a first reaction chamber disposed in said combustion chamber, wherein said first portion of said mixed-feed absorbs at least a portion of said combustion heat; feeding a second portion of said mixed-feed or another mixed-feed to a second reaction chamber disposed in said convection chamber, wherein said second portion of said mixed-feed or said another mixed-feed absorbs at least a portion of said sensible heat of said flue gas; withdrawing the product from said first reaction chamber; transferring the product from said first reaction chamber to said second reaction chamber; and withdrawing the product from said second reaction chamber wherein said product from said second reaction chamber flows counter-currently with said second portion of said mixed-feed or said another mixed-feed.
