Gliding arc plasmatron reactor with reverse vortex for the conversion of hydrocarbon fuel into synthesis gas
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY A reactor for reforming a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, and associated processes and systems, are described herein. In one example, a two stage process is disclosed in which a first reactor is coupled to a second stage reactor having a reaction volume greater than the first reactor. In the first reactor, the liquid hydrocarbon...

System and Method for Disinfection and Fouling Prevention in the Treatment of Water
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY In spite of the recent oil price declines the shale oil production is recovering at a rapid rate. With it, the amount of water used in hydraulic fracturing grows as well, including the water used both at the front end of this process, in fracking liquid, and at the back end, the flowback and produced water. The front-end...

Non Thermal Plasma Cleaning of Dirty Synthesis Gas
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY Biomass, municipal wastes, hydrocarbon fuels or coal can be reformed via one or a combination of pyrolysis, combustion and gasification processes. A series of chemical reactions during the course of these processes usually results in the formation of a complex mixture of combustible gases such as CH4, CO, H2, unreacted...
