The system is a self-oxidation internal heating steam reforming system for
conducting self-oxidation of a raw material gas under the presence of
oxygen and conducting steam reforming to generate a hydrogen-rich
reformed gas. The system includes a steam generator including a
combustion section for combusting an air-fuel mixture obtained by mixing
a combustion air with a fuel, thereby heating water using a combustion
gas generated in the combustion section to generate hydrogen; a first
sucking-mixer for sucking the raw material gas into a steam stream coming
from the steam generator to obtain a raw material-steam mixture; and a
reformer for oxidizing the raw material gas in the raw material-steam
mixture by an oxygen-containing gas supplied from outside, thereby
conducting steam reforming of the raw material gas using the reaction
heat of the oxidation to generate a hydrogen-rich reformed gas.
