Diesel-based solid oxide fuel cell systems have various advantages. However, diesel reforming poses several difficulties of carbon deposition, sulfur poisoning, fuel delivery. Fuel delivery issue affects the mixing of the reactants that can cause the carbon deposition on the reforming catalyst, and sulfur compounds in fuels and low hydrocarbons in the reformate induce the degradation of fuel cell performance due to the sulfur poisoning and carbon deposition at the anode side. In this paper, diesel reforming system is investigated for solving the several diesel reforming issues. Diesel reforming system is composed 3 reactors which are the diesel reformer, desulfurizer, and post-reformer. Diesel is atomized by ultrasonic injector for diesel delivery. As the result, integrated diesel fuel processing system has been successfully operated using commercial diesel as a fuel.
