Scope and Objectives

1. To design, fabricate and test individual components of 30 kWe non-catalytic diesel autothermal reformer. 2. To optimize placement of secondary steam injection for increased performance of the reactor. 3. To optimize the reformer performance of 30 kWe reformer system for steady-state conditions at 0-20 bar pressures via built-in control strategies tolerant to feed fuel variation. 4. To modify the reformer system for thermal integration and optimize the integrated reformer system at 0-20 bar pressures for steady state conditions. 5. To demonstrate a working prototype for 30 kWe diesel reformer system

Deliverables

1. Fully assembled and a working prototype of both 5 kWe and 30 kWe diesel auto-thermal reforming system. 2. Obtain optimized operating parameters for Auto-thermal reforming such as Steam to Carbon Ratio, Oxygen to Carbon Ratio and Air Ratio for maximum Hydrogen Production.
