The engine reformer: Syngas production in an engine for compact gas-to-liquids synthesis

Methane (CH4) reforming was carried out in an internal combustion engine (an “engine reformer”). We successfully produced syngas from the partial oxidation of natural gas in the cylinder of a diesel engine that was reconfigured to perform spark ignition. Performing the reaction in an engine cylinder...
