Abstract
Rich and ultrarich combustion of butane inside porous media composed of aleatory wood pellets and alumina spheres is studied experimentally to evaluate the suitability of the concept for syngas production. Temperature, velocity, and chemical products of the combustion waves were recorded experimentally at a range of equivalence ratios from stoichiometry (ÏÂ =Â 1.0) to ÏÂ =Â 2.6. It is observed that hydrogen and carbon monoxide are dominant partial oxidation products for ultrarich hybrid combustion waves of butane and wood pellets. Syngas yield in hybrid filtration combustion is found to be essentially higher than for butane filtration combustion in an inert porous medium.
