As part of the technical support services for the DOE/GRI Joint Coal Gasification Research Program, Foster Wheeler conducted an evaluation of the low-temperature acid-gas removal process under development by CNG Research Company. Conceptual designs and cost estimates were developed for commercial-scale acid-gas removal process units based on the CNG technology. Volume 1 of the report summarizes the case study in which the CNG process is applied to treating a raw syngas stream derived from Lurgi fixed-bed gasification of lignite. Two other case studies of the CNG process considered treatment of raw syngas from ash-algommerating fluidized-bed gasification of Wyodak subbituminous coal before conventional methanation and treatment of raw syngas from ash-aglommerating fluidized-bed gasification of Wyodak subbituminous coal after Direct Methanation.
