Abstract

See full text

A device and method for producing a reformate fuel from a hydrocarbon gas source. Gases (102) having low concentrations of hydrocarbons are concentrated using a concentrator (120) into a gaseous (123) or liquid (131) concentrated VOC fuel. The concentrated VOC fuel is then converted into a reformate (145) using a reformer (140). The reformate (145) is more easily consumed by an energy conversion device (160) such as a combustion engine, fuel cell, sterling engine or similar device that converts chemical energy into kinetic or electrical energy. The reformer (140) enables complex hydrocarbon fuels that are not normally suitable for use in an energy conversion device (160) to be converted into a reformate (145). The reformate (145) may be directly supplied into the energy conversion device (160).
