Abstract
Catalytic cracking of gaseous or distillate hydrocarbon fuels for the production of hydrogen (such as for use in a fuel cell) is provided in a push/pull operated dual chamber blow and run apparatus utilizing a catalytic bed employing ring catalyzed nickel supported on porous ceramic substrates, having a graduated catalyst content such that there is a low catalyst content in the portion of the bed near the inlet and a high catalyst content in the portion of the bed near the outlet.
