Coal based syngas and coal bed gas

Siemens Fuel Gasifier

Gasification offers one of the cleanest and most flexible ways of converting coal and low-grade fuels into high-value products – electricity,chemicals or synthetic fuels. Combining gasification with advanced gas turbines in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants results in a highly efficient technology for coal-based power generation. Gasification can offer environmentally friendly plants with lower emissions and the combination with readily available technology for CO₂ Capture and Storage(CCS).

The entrained-flow Siemens Fuel Gasifier (SFG) is able to convert a large range of fuels and is ideally suited for lower-rank fuels like lignite with high ash and moisture content. The technology with its unique cooling screen design and the efficient dry-feeding system is based on more than 30years of continuous product development.
