Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	There are provided systems and methods for the use of rich limit extenders, and in particular pre-chamber assemblies, for increasing the ability of a spark-ignition engine to operate under fuel-rich conditions. In embodiments the pre-chamber assemblies are combined with spark-ignition engines as a reformer in a gas-to-liquid system for converting a combustible fuel source into synthesis gas. Embodiments of the reformers having pre-chambers provide a synthesis gas product having a H2/CO ratio, with increased H2 concentrations.
