A NON-EQUILIBRIUM PLASMA-ASSISTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REFORMULATING AND / OR REDUCING TAR CONCENTRATION IN GASIFICATION DERIVED GAS PRODUCT

摘要

A method and apparatus is described for reformulating raw gas and/or reducing and/or converting the tar in a raw gas from a gasification reaction. More specifically, a gas reformulating system having a gas reformulating chamber, one or more sources of or means for generating non-equilibrium plasma, and optionally one or more oxygen source(s) inputs and control system is provided. Methods of reformulation and/or reducing the tar concentration in a raw gas from a gasification reaction that uses non-equilibrium plasma are also provided.
