A reforming technology of crude coke oven gas (COG) by non-catalytic partial oxidation has been developed. The test results were accumulated by operating the 1/10 scaled pilot equipments installed on the platform of the operating coke oven furnaces. The optimum operating condition of the reformer was specified by the exhaustive test runs. It was achieved to obtain gas amplification ratio over 2.0, the carbon conversion over 95% and the optimum product gas composition for methanol synthesis. Numerical simulations with a detailed chemical kinetic model were also carried out for better understanding of the chemistry and kinetics of the COG reforming.
