Patent ID: 8475551

Claim:
A method for reformulating of an input gas from a low temperature gasification reaction into a carbon monoxide containing reformulated gas of a defined chemical composition, comprising the steps of (a) delivering the input gas from a low temperature gasifier to an inlet of a refractory-lined chamber; (b) injecting air and process additives into said chamber such that the input gas mixes with the air and process additives; (c) applying plasma heat from one or more plasma heat sources to the mixed input gas, air and process additives to promote dissociation of molecules therein; (d) allowing recombination of said dissociated molecules thereby producing reformulated gas; and (e) continually monitoring the composition of said reformulated gas produced in step (d) and, via feedback contra continually adjusting, in response to the monitored composition, (i) air and process additives injection rate in step (b) and (ii) the power to the one or more plasma heat sources, thereby producing said carbon monoxide containing reformulated gas of a defined chemical composition.
