The gasification process can convert carbon-containing materials into a synthetic gas (SG). This SG can be used to fuel gas turbines for electric power generation or to produce synthetic natural gas (SNG) which has the same properties as natural gas, transportation fuels (high purity diesel, jet fuel and methanol) and hydrogen gas (H2).
Gasification Technology Converts Solid
Hydrocarbons Into Clean Synthetic Gas
Solid hydrocarbons utilized in gasification may include coal, petroleum coke, renewables that may include materials that would otherwise be disposed of as waste.
Gasification Technology: In gasification a feedstock of a solid or liquid hydrocarbon reacts in the gasifier with steam and oxygen at high temperature and high pressure in a reducing atmosphere to create synthetic gas (SG). The composition of SG is about 85% by volume of carbon monoxide and hydrogen and smaller quantities of carbon dioxide and methane.
