Gasification is often considered the baseline technology and foundation for developing many advanced carbonbased fuels and chemicals. For example, gasification is the key conversion step for converting coal to H 2, Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), liquid fuels, and the capture of CO 2 for sequestration.

In 1993, Sasol successfully proved its low temperature FischerTropsch (LTFT) technology with an ironbased catalyst to convert coalderived syngas to liquid products. The plant is a relatively small scale, 2,500 bpd commercial facility that was recently converted to use natural gas as feed.
The initial syngas can be derived from coal alone or from a coal/biomass mixture. The process is the same when biomass is included, but the amount of CO 2 emitted during the process decreases as the proportion of biomass increases. In the lesscommon Mobil process, the syngas can be converted to methanol, which is subsequently converted to ...
Such systems allow greaterthanequilibrium conversion of syngas to separate streams of CO 2 and H 2 in a single process step. This has the potential to replace the high and lowtemperature watergas shift process, and the solvent extraction and regeneration processes, with a single reactor unit offering a considerable decrease in both capital ...
A decrease in the pressure of the FischerTropsch synthesis from 2 to and MPa was shown to exert a detrimental effect on the catalytic performance of the process carried out with a ...
1. Gasification is a technological process that can convert any carbonbased raw material such as coal, biomass and organic wastes into fuel gas, also known as syngas (netl, 2021). Gasification typically takes place in a high temperature pressure vessel where oxygen (or air)
Today Sasol produces the equivalent of 150,000 bbl/day of fuels and chemical feedstock from more than 40 million tons of low grade coal. In converting coal to petroleum products, coal is first gasified with oxygen and steam to syngas, a mixture of H{sub 2} and CO, which after purification is converted to hydrocarbons and some oxygenates by ...
FischerTropsch (FT) synthesis is a heterogeneous catalytic process that converts biomassderived syngas (mixture of CO and H 2) to synthetic liquid fuels and valuable chemicals. FT synthesis has received renewed interest in recent years due to the necessity to decrease global dependency on fossil fuels. FT synthesis is a promising technology ...
Synthetic natural gas (SNG) is one of the commodities that can be produced from coalderived syngas through the methanation process. The economic viability of producing SNG through coal gasification is heavily dependent on the market prices of natural gas and the coal feedstock to be used, the value of byproducts such as carbon dioxide (CO2) (which could be used for EOR), and additionally the ...
Some physical and chemical characteristics of calcium lignosulphonatebound coal fines. Africa's major energy source, with over 90% of the country's electricity being produced via coalfired processes (Arndt et al., 2016). Sasol's coal conversion technology alone provides more than 40%..
The FischerTropsch process (FT) is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, known as syngas, into liquid reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts, typically at temperatures of 150300 °C (302572 °F) and pressures of one to several tens of FischerTropsch process is an important reaction ...
Firstly, coal gasification leads to low H 2:CO ratios and secondly the process economics is strongly affected by the coal reactivity as this determines the carbon conversion and gas yields. Furthermore Wu Wang [ 5 ] identified that methane could be an ideal source for H 2, for syngas conversion requiring high H 2, and that coalbed gas is a ...

Coal gasification technology is the conversion of a carbonaceous material by reaction with oxygen and steam to produce synthesis gas (syngas) that is a feedstock to produce more valuable and higher quality liquid fuels such as diesel and kerosene. During gasification there are hundreds of simultaneous reactions taking place. However, the six principle heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions ...

Sasol, a South African company, has produced billion barrels of synthetic fuel fiom about 800 million tons of coal since 1955. Sasol continues to supply about 29% of South Africa's fuel needs from While the technology for producing synthetic fuels from coal or natural gas has been around for
IGCC process which is, no doubt, a complicated energy conversion process formed by many interconnected subsystem modules. In the IGCC process, the coal slurry and oxygen react in the gasifier and generate syngas primarily made of H 2 and CO. The WGS raises the H 2 and CO 2 concentration while reducing the CO content. The sweet
Although Sasol currently uses coal rather than natural gas to produce syngas, the feed to the GTL synthesis step is still syngas. Sasol, Mossgas (Pty.) Ltd. (OGJ, Dec. 6, 1999, p. 48), and Shell ...
Sasol I, built and started in 1955, operated 17 SasolLurgi FBDB TM gasifiers to convert the syngas produced from subbituminous coal into a wide variety of liquid chemicals. In 2004, this facility retired the gasifiers in favor of natural gas autothermal reformers ( Mills, 2016; NETL, a ).
