NOVELTY - Desulfurized hydrocarbon feed is provided by producing hydrogen-rich reformate from hydrocarbon feed in a small hydrogen generator, and feeding the hydrogen-rich reformate along with the hydrocarbon feed to a hydrogen desulfurizer.    USE - For manufacturing desulfurized hydrocarbon feed used in producing hydrogen-rich reformate (claimed) as an input for hydrogen desulfurization in the production of hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels for use in, e.g. fuel cell power plants, refineries, or other processes.    ADVANTAGE - The method eliminates the need for a hydrogen recycle blower (30). It reduces cost, power consumption, and moisture in the hydrogen gas provided to a hydrogen desulfurizer.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (a) a hydrogen-rich reformate gas generator for providing desulfurized hydrocarbon feed comprising mechanism including a small hydrogen generator for producing hydrogen-rich reformate from hydrocarbon feed, hydrogen desulfurizer, and mechanism for feeding the hydrogen-rich reformate along with the hydrocarbon feed to the hydrogen desulfurizer; and    (b) a system for producing hydrogen-rich reformate from hydrocarbon feeds comprising source of hydrocarbon feed, source of water, small hydrogen generator receiving hydrocarbon feed from the source to produce hydrogen-containing reformate gas, hydrogen desulfurizer receiving hydrocarbon feed from the source of hydrocarbon feed and hydrogen-containing reformate gas from the small hydrogen generator and providing desulfurized hydrocarbon feed, and fuel processor having major reformer and water-gas shift reactor.    The major reformer receives the desulfurized hydrocarbon feed and humidified air and produces hydrogen-containing reformate. The water-gas shift reactor receives hydrogen containing reformate and water and feeding the resultant gas into a preferential carbon monoxide (CO) oxidizer. The hydrogen desulfurizer receives the hydrocarbon feed from the source of hydrocarbon feed, and receives the hydrogen-containing gas from the small hydrogen generator. The preferential CO oxidizer is for producing hydrogen containing reformate for use as fuel. The recycled hydrogen gas from the output of the fuel processor is not required for the desulfurizer, thus eliminating the need for an expensive and power consuming hydrogen blower, and reducing the steam fed into the hydrogen desulfurizer.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is a simplified schematic diagram of a hydrogen desulfurizer being supplied hydrogen rich reformate generated through a mini-CPO.
