Purpose/Outline
Gasification technology
Different types of gasifiers Products from gasification
3 types of gasifiers
Moving bed Fluid Bed Entrained Flow
Combined cycle
Combustion turbine Heat used for generating steam
Conclusions
There are many ways that carbon containing compounds may be gasified Coal gasification occurs best in entrained flow reactors such as the Texaco gasifier
The coal will not heat up as much and will not create methane and tar. The requirement for fine particles into the gasifier prevents agglomeration
Underground coal gasification technology is present and used today but with certain challenges
Water contamination Impact on environment and land
