Dear Sir and Editor,

Please find the manuscript of "Methane Conversion Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge:
Comparison with Thermal Process and Catalyst Effects" written by Antonius Indarto, Jae-
Wook Choi, Hwaung Lee, and Hyung Keun Song. I would like to have this manuscript reviewed
by the Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry (JNGC).
This manuscript reports the comparison between two different experimental processes on pure
methane conversion. The product distributions are compared at the same flow rate and
conversion of methane. Very few papers did this kind of experiment. And, in order to improve
the higher hydrocarbons production, a series of metal catalyst was loaded in the reactor and we
investigated and wrote in this manuscript.
I warmly welcomed your information as well as questions regarding to the submission process
of this manuscript and those can be directed to my electronic mail at
indarto_antonius@yahoo.com.
Finally, for your consideration, thank you very much.

Best regards,

Antonius Indarto
