Dielectric barrier discharge reactor has been used to study the effect of voltage, pulse repetition rate and inlet mixture composition on propane conversion. The reactor is powered by a pulsed high voltage supply with amplitudes up to 30 kV and pulses repetition rate varied up to 200 Hz. Injected energy density and dry or wet air conditions play a major role on propane removal efficiency and the species produced (nature and concentrations).
