Partial Oxidation • CxHy + x/2 O2 x CO + y/2 H2 • Advantages: • Any type of hydrocarbon • Direct Heat transfer Disadvantages: • Low H2 production • Dilution of gas with N2 • Soot formation
Desulphurisation • Gas phase Desulphurisation • ZnO + H2S ZnS (s) + H2O (g) • 2 to 3 kg ZnO sufficient for one year Automobile operation • Liquid Fuel Desulphurisation • Gasoline 30-40 ppm 1-2ppm Sulphur • For high sulphur Fuels hydro treatment followed by gas phase • Desulphurisation Adsorption Chemical reaction
Conclusions • Presently liquid fuels like gasoline & Diesel which contain high aromatic content and sulfur are not very suitable for on board applications. • Availability of Methanol & Ethanol for fuel uses are inadequate. • For use of natural gas economic and environmental benefits are to studied in detail. • A multi fuel Reformer needs to be developed (For fuels with small range of C/H ratio). • Thrust areas for R&D • Development of reactors/separators (Membrane) • Indigenous Catalyst development
