Systems and methods for accurately calculating a steam-carbon ratio in a reformer or the like are shown and described. In one embodiment a control , valve, regulates the amount of water entering the process side of a heat exchanger upstream of, the reformer. A steam/process outlet directs steam from the heat exchanger to the, reformer. A level control device operates the control valve to maintain the water at a, constant level.
