APT has developed and tested a plasma assisted fuel reformer prototype to convert liquid hydrocarbons into the synthesis gas. Technical solutions are protected by the U.S. Patent Applications No 11/309644, 11/697291 and 11/843942. The prototype operates with equivalence ratio up to 4-5 (air excess coefficient 0.2-0.25) and converts up to 2 grams per second of diesel fuel. A transient discharge plasma pilot provides fuel feeding into the arc chamber with its atomizing, ignition and partial oxidation. Arc power can vary from 100W to 1.5kW.
