Investigation of light tar cracking in a gliding Arc plasma system

Utilization of biomass gasification technology is not widely adopted due largely to tars contained in the product gas that pose serious problems, especially in engine use. In this paper, a laboratory scale plasma system for light tar cracking was developed. The system was based on non-equilibrium pl...
