N2 - New results on the autothermal reforming of crude glycerol using the BASF dual layer monolith catalyst are presented and compared with results of pure glycerol. Heat management requires balancing the exothermic partial oxidation and endothermic reforming reactions in the catalytic autothermal reforming system. The composition of synthesis gas obtained was determined as a function of temperature, steam to carbon ratio, oxygen to carbon ratio, and gas hourly space velocity. The optimum operating conditions to produce desired conversion of crude glycerol, yields of H2, and H2/CO ratio with minimal coke formation were also determined. The Aspen simulation software package was used to determine the equilibrium product composition from major compounds for various reaction conditions. A comparison between process simulation results and experimental data was also made. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2013 AIChE Spring Meeting & 9th Global Congress on Process Safety (San Antonio, TX 4/28-5/2/2013).
