Provided is a highly efficient and durable fuel processing apparatus that subjects hydrocarbon-based raw gas or natural gas having methane (CH4) as the main component to a steam-reforming reaction and then supplies hydrogen to a fuel cell stack, the apparatus allowing stable production of hydrogen and removal of carbon monoxide by means of optimized heat-exchange in heat-exchangers associated with internal reactors when starting, operating, and stopping the fuel processing apparatus. L'invention concerne un appareil de traitement de combustible hautement efficace et durable qui soumet un gaz brut à base d'hydrocarbures ou un gaz naturel comprenant du méthane (CH4) en tant que composant principal à une réaction de reformage à la vapeur et fournit ensuite de l'hydrogène à un empilement de piles à combustible, l'appareil permettant une production stable d'hydrogène et l'élimination de monoxyde de carbone au moyen d'un échange de chaleur optimisé dans des échangeurs de chaleur associés à des réacteurs internes lors du démarrage, du fonctionnement, et de l'arrêt de l'appareil de traitement de combustible. 메탄(CH4)를 주성분으로 가지는 탄화수소계 원료가스 또는 천연가스를 수증기 개질반응을 통해 연료전지 스택에 수소를 공급하되, 연료처리장치 기동, 운전 및 정지 시에 내부 반응기들과 연계된 열교환부들의 최적화된 열교환을 이용하여 안정적인 수소생산이 가능하게 함과 아울러 일산화탄소를 제거할 수 있도록 한 내구성을 갖는 고효율 연료처리장치가 제공된다.
