IN A PROCESS WHEREIN A HIGH PURITY HYDROGEN STREAM IS OBTAINED BY CONTACTING A HYDROCARBON AND STEAM MIXTURE WITH A STREAM REFORMING CATALYST AT A TEMPERATURE SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE REACTION, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID HYDROCARBON-STEAM MIXTURE AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 100 TO 1500 P.S.I.G. AND A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 1400* TO 3000*F. IN A REACTION ZONE CONTAINING A STEAM REFORMING CATALYST, SAID TEMPERATURE BEING MAINTAINED BY APPLYING AN ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE TO ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE CONTAINED IN SAID REACTION ZONE.
