Dear Sir and Editor,

Please find our manuscript of Kinetic modeling of plasma methane conversion in a

dielectric barrier discharge by Antonius Indarto, Nowarat Congwanitwong, Jae-Wook
Choi, Hwaung Lee, Hyung Keun Song. I would like to have this manuscript reviewed
by the Journal of Fuel Processing Technology as a full paper.
In this manuscript, we report our study on the kinetic of plasma methane conversion.
Global kinetic model was applied by introducing eight different hydrocarbons to the
plasma reactor. Analysis and calculation of the products distribution are presented in the
manuscript. This simple model will be useful to understanding the global pathway of
complex plasma reactions.
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, thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Antonius Indarto
