Electrical energy is added to the "TONADO-LE" plasma-liquid system in the form of plasma power. Plasma acts as a catalyst and thus this power should be controlled. In addition to electric energy for plasma we incorporate hydrocarbon (ethanol or bioglycerol) as an input to the system. These hydrocarbons are raw material for syn-gas generation but they are also a fuel which has some energy associated with it. So, we input some energy to the system (hydrocar­bon + electricity) and we get syn-gas, which is potentially a source of energy as well.

Carbon dioxide adding leads to a significant increase the percentage of H2 + CO (syn-gas) and CH4 components in the exhaust. This may indicate that the CO2 addition under the ethanol reforming increases the conversion efficiency, because CO2 plays a role of the retarder in the system by reducing the intensity of the conversion components combustion.

The transmission spectra of infrared radiation indicate that the exhaust gas obtained by ethanol solution conversion, contains such components as CO, CO2, CH4, C2H2. It was found that CO2 adding reduces the CH4 and C2H2 amount, but does not affect the amount of producted CO.

The possibility of hydrocarbons reforming, which have considerable viscosity (bioglycerol) in the "TORNADO-LE" is shown. This gives a possibility to avoid environmental problems due to the bioglycerol accumulation during biodiesel production.

The a coefficient [see (2)] in bioglycerol reforming is higher than ethanol reforming at the same ratios of CO2/Air in the input gas. This may be connected with the lower power consumption on the plasma generation in case of bioglycerol reforming. Bioglycerol contains alkaline dash, which increases the bioglycerol conductivity. Bioglycerol reforming products contain mainly CO and hydrocarbons CH4, C2H2 which also gives some contribution to energy yield.
