FUEL 202 |
| Waste Glycerol (issued from biodiesel production) starts to be considered as emerging feed for a fuel (or synthesis) gas generation and then for a distributed heat and power generation. We describe here our very good tests at up to 4.3 kg/h scale. The GlidArc-assisted reformer of feasibility of conversion into a fuel gas using our GlidArc-assisted reformer is used for Glycerol partial oxidation with air or slightly O2-enriched air. No harm nor soot/coke in gas or inside the reformer were detected after long runs. Produced fuel gas contains up to 50 vol.% of H2 + CO at around H2/CO molar ratio of 2. Such synthesis gas can therefore be also considered as feed to synthetize clean liquid fuels (mostly the Diesel Oil). |
