Analysis of Syngas Production from Biogas via the Tri-Reforming Process

“…Using CH 4 as the primary material, syngas can be produced from steam reforming (SR), partial oxidation (POX), autothermal reforming (ATR), and dry reforming (DR). The tri-reforming (TR) process for syngas production from CH 4 has received growing attention because of its technical simplicity and flexible operation [2][3][4][5]. In the TR process, the syngas is produced by combining SR, DR, and POX in a single step.…”

“…Biogas is receiving much attention because of its considerable economic and environmental benefits [13]. The biogas composition is related to the starting substrate, but is basically composed of CH 4 and CO 2 with the volume ratio of 2 [14][15][16]. Both CH 4 and CO 2 are regarded as major greenhouse gases (GHGs), which pose a serious threat to the global climate and environment.…”

“…Both CH 4 and CO 2 are regarded as major greenhouse gases (GHGs), which pose a serious threat to the global climate and environment. Using biogas for syngas production, both CH 4 and CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere can be reduced. Because of its potential for reducing global warming, further understanding of syngas production from biogas is essential.…”

“…In the study of Vita et al [21], tri-reforming simulated biogas over a Ni/ceria based catalysts was carried out and the H 2 O/CH 4 and O 2 /CH 4 molar ratios, reaction temperature, and nickel content effects on the catalyst's performance were studied. They found that the H 2 /CO ratio could be flexibly adjusted using added amounts of oxygen and steam in order to meet the requirements of downstream processes.…”
