Abstract
High-methane, low-hydrogen gas, interchangeable with natural gas, is prepared by reacting hydrocarbons with steam in the presence of a nickel-based catalyst at elevated temperatures and pressures. The hydrocarbons and the steam are fed to the reaction in mixture with product gas from the process from which substantially all carbon dioxide has been removed.
