Abstract
Pyrogas - a fuel gas formed from the pyrolysis or gasification of Biomass or Coal - usually contain large amounts of heavy hydrocarbons (tar) and unreacted light hydrocarbons (CH 4 , C 2 H 2 , C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 6 ), that decreases its value and require significant cleaning. The conversion of Pyrogas into synthesis gas (a combination of CO and H 2 ) in varying quantities in the presence of Plasma discharge in the form of Gliding arc Plasma is effectively demonstrated and studied. A special low current gliding arc plasma reactor, 'plasmatron', is designed to provide plasma discharge in a reforming zone for reforming reactions. The Gliding arc plasma reactor (plasmatron) is a non thermal reformer which offers better selectivity, reactivity and efficiency compared to conventional catalytic reformers.
