Experimental combustion in inert porous media of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Butane,
Propane, Diesel Fuel and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is presented to assess the syngas production
within different stages of refinement of fuels, considering light gases up to a residual oil.
The porous media is composed by a fixed bed of alumina spheres and temperatures and
gas composition were acquired while stable combustion waves under rich fuel conditions
were produced. The results of this study showed that it is possible to partially oxidize HFO
producing up to a 10% of H2 and CO in the products for the equivalence ratio of f ¼ 1.3, with
a superior performance than any other fuel tested in this work. The behavior of the
recorded temperature results showed good agreement with the available literature. Upstream
regimes of propagation of the combustion wave are observed for the experiments
with liquid fuels, while gaseous fuels presented downstream regimes for f > 2 up to f ¼ 4.
Results suggest that in order to efficiently transform the fuels into syngas, it is convenient
to operate the reactor under an upstream regime considering the chemical energy at inlet
and outlet. Furthermore, liquid fuels, regardless of its refining level, have the potential to
produce syngas in inert porous media in promising volumes.
