Abstract

Oil residues can be upgraded by converting them by partial oxidation into gaseous products, namely hydrogen which is acceptable as a clean fuel gas. As an initial stage in this work, this paper is concerned primarily with the non-catalytic partial oxidation of pure hydrocarbons. The technical feasibility of hydrogen production using an n-hexadecane/air system is considered. The yield of hydrogen as well as the H2:CO ratio are experimentally determined for different operating conditions.
