Description

High-voltage discharge (called GlidArc) is used to assist the partial oxidation of 50 C to 90 C Ethanol/water solutions using air. The feed conversion is total and the produced synthesis gas does not contain soot, coke or tars. The output re-formate gas reaches presently 22 kW power at only 1% of electric power necessary to assist such reforming process. Up to 46 vol.% of H2+CO SynGas mixture is produced (the balance being mostly the N2) in long runs. A 75% thermal efficiency of the process is obtained but a large part of remaining heat can be further reused. (author)
