Steam reforming of methane in a synthesis gas from biomass gasification

An experimental and modeling study of the pyrolysis and of the steam reforming of methane in mixtures representative of a gas produced from biomass gasification has been performed. The experimental study has been done in a plug flow reactor under a near atmospheric pressure (1.07 bar), for a residence time of 0.68 s and temperature ranging from 1200 up to 1800 K. Reactants and products were quantified on-line at the exit of the reactor by gas...
