Diesel Fuel Processing for the PAFC Process Demonstration.

Abstract

The results of a 400 hour process demonstration test designed to demonstrate the feasibility of producing fuel cell grade hydrogen from 2 diesel fuel are discussed. Complete conversion of diesel fuel was demonstrated when fuel is desulfurized to low levels (<1 ppm). No evidence of carbon or gums were detected in this mode of operation. Operation with higher (10-50 ppm) sulfur levels resulted in gradual sulfur poisoning at the temperatures tested. Keywords: Diesel fuel reforming; Hydrodesulfurization.
