Canola Oil Fuel Cell Demonstration. Volume 1. Literature Review of Current Reformer Technologies

摘要

This literature review identifies fuel reformer technologies that may be pertinent for reforming canola/rapeseed oil and other agricultural biomass including biodiesel. A description of candidate reformers is presented, noting characteristics generally inherent to each configuration. A comparison of the identified reformers is accomplished by rating each reformer against a set of specific criteria, which is essential for attaining operating characteristics desired for canola/rapeseed oil given applications.
