METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONVERTING A FUEL

摘要

It is known that gaseous fuels can be reformed in several ways in order to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen or in order to produce hydrogen. According to the invention, a non-thermal plasma is produced in a region in which the densities of the gas constituents which are preferably excited in the plasma are below the densities of those which are less preferably excited, especially in order to convert a gaseous or liquid fuel by feeding an oxidant into a gas treatment stage, part of the oxidant being respectively supplied to the fuel flow in a plurality of gas treatment stages.
