Abstract

A processor (29) for removing carbon monoxide from a hydrocarbon reformate (28) comprises a first bed including a first bifunctional material having a first active component that preferentially adsorbs the carbon monoxide from the reformate. The first bed receives either the reformate or a reformate-oxidizing gas mixture, with the mixture being formed from the reformate and an oxidizing gas. A second bed is capable of being positionally changed relative to the first bed, with the second bed having a second bifunctional material having a second active component that preferentially adsorbs the carbon monoxide from the reformate. The second bed receives either the reformate or the reformate-oxidizing gas mixture.
