Water gas shift reaction CO + H2O = H2 + CO2
The combination of this reaction with those occurring in the reformer gives the overall
reaction stoichiometry presented earlier.
This reaction is first conducted on a chromium-promoted iron oxide catalyst in the high
temperature shift (HTS) reactor at about 370°C at the inlet. Converted gases are cooled
outside of the HTS and are sent to the low temperature shift (LTS) converter at about 200–
215°C to complete the water gas shift reaction. The LTS catalyst is a copper–zinc oxide
catalyst supported on alumina. The product gas after WGS contains about 77% H2, 18% CO2,
0.30% CO, and 4.7% CH4.
