Production of synthesis gas for operating fuel cell from fuel involves regulation to ensure over-stoichiometric air supply for start-up, then incomplete combustion after start-up

摘要

In the production of a synthesis gas from a fuel, combustion in a burner is regulated so that the fuel/air mixture is adjusted to lambda greater than 1 at the start and lambda less than 1 after the start, so that the fuel is partly oxidized. An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus used.
