An aftertreatment device which reduce exhaust gas of natural gas vehicle(NGV), NGV catalyst has important meaning as to reduce the exhaust emission. In this study, the characteristics of NGV catalyst were investigated and the effect parameters of NGV catalyst were analyzed and were predicted by changing the various parameters such as temperature, and gas concentration. The conversion efficiency of NGV catalyst converter was also predicted by Pd-loading, mass flow rate and gas composition.

A sour natural gas feed containing 1.37 and 1.70 mole percent $CO_2$ and $H_2S$ respectively is to be sweetened. Our research is to design an amine treating facility to bring the concentration of the acid gases in 100 MMSCFD of natural gas down to less than 5 ppm. The K-values for $CO_2,\;H_2S,\;H_2O$ and amine components contained in natural gas is obtained by using Kent-Eisenberg model. The new gas sweetening process designed by Ball and Veldman is modeled and optimized with the commercial simulator. Results of simulations led to further economic improvements over the present operating process.

Natural gas is considered to be on e of the most promising candidates for a clean substitute fuel and a great amount of research on the compressed natural gas(CNG) fueled vehicle has been performed. In this s tudy, we try to understand the property of CNG fuel with using CNG engine experiment. In order to present the direction and application of CNG, we experiment with various operating conditions that is, spark timing, A/F ratio, air quantity and fuel quantity, etc. 11,967 cc engine was used in the experiment and the engine fuel ratio was determined in the way that the performance of dedicated CNG engine is corresponded to that of existing diesel engine. The performance and dedicated CNG engine were measured by changing the fuel injection timing. The dedicated CNG engine was proved to be good in describing the experimental results and according to the actual road test, acceleration and constant speed driving for dedicated CNG engine was better than existing diesel engine.

KIER have been developing high-temperature solar technology, especially the solar thermal power generation system, since the early of 1990s. In 1994, the first research on high temperature solar technology started with PTC technology. At the moment the most advanced 10kW dish system is under demonstration for 10kW solar thermal power generation. Test results showed about 19.2% solar to electricity average efficiency. Another research activities of KIER is hybrid power generation. For hybridization, solar and LFG(landfill gas) are used. Another hybrid solar system is with solar chemical reaction. In this system, power unit is gas turbine, and the heat content of fuel(like natual gas) is upgraded by solar energy through chemical reaction. The latest project on solar thermal power generation is for 1 MW power tower system. This is the Korea-China Joint project.

본 연구에서는 중 소형 SOFC에 적용할 수 있는 연료 변환 시스템으로 자체 기동 및 독립운전이 가능한 천연가스 자열개질(ATR) 반응기를 $10Nm^3/hr$급으로 개발하고자한다. 설계된 천연가스 자열개질기는 자열개질 촉매를 코팅한 금속 모노리스형 촉매체를 반응기 내에 장착함으로써 반응열을 신속하게 제거 또는 공급할 수 있는 시스템으로 구성되었다. 이는 금속 모노리스의 뛰어난 열전도 능력에 의해 반응기 내의 촉매층 전체 온도 분포를 균일하게 유지할 수 있는 저에너지형 자열개질 반응기이다. 또한 빠른 기동 특성을 실현하기 위하여 전기 발열식 촉매체(EHC ; Electically Heated Catalyst)를 장착한 start-up 시스템을 적용하여 천연가스 자열개질 반응기의 신속한 기동과 장치 간편화를 실현하였으며, 합성 syngas의 배열 회수를 위한 최적 열교환 시스템을 설계/적용함으로써 에너지 효율 향상을 도모하였다. 이와 같은 촉매 및 구조 시스템을 가지는 천연가스 자열개질 반응용 소형 연료변환 시스템을 원통형의 이중관 구조로 구성하고, 독립운전 모드로 개발함으로써 소형 SOFC의 연료 변환장치의 적용에 용이하게 하고자 한다.
