  "term": "Reformer",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A processing unit in a petroleum refinery or chemical plant that converts low-octane hydrocarbons into high-octane components or valuable aromatic compounds.

A steam reformer, by contrast, produces hydrogen by reacting natural gas or other hydrocarbons with steam at high temperatures.",
