Two reduced reaction mechanisms were established that predict reliably for pressures up to about the heat release for different syngas mixtures including initial concentrations of methane. The mechanisms were validated on the base of laminar flame speed data covering a wide range of preheat temperature, pressure, and fuel-air mixtures. Additionally, a global reduced mechanism for syngas, which comprises only two steps, was developed and validated, too. This global reduced and validated mechanism can be incorporated into CFD codes for modeling turbulent combustion in stationary gas turbines.
