Ash agglomeration in fluidized bed coal gasification
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6208108
At the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) significant work has been conducted to develop processes to utilize coal on an environmentally acceptable basis including coal conversion to low- and medium-Btu gas. The IGT U-GAS process combines a single-stage fluidized bed coal gasifier with an ash-agglomerating mechanism to achieve selective removal of high-ash-bearing material (agglomerates) and high carbon conversions. To date, successful gasification tests have been conducted with metallurgical coke breeze, bituminous coal chars, Montana subbituminous, Illinois No. 6 as well as washed and unwashed Western Kentucky No. 9 bituminous coals. Recently, U-GAS process tests have been conducted to produce design data at 60 psia (413 kPa) for an Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant.
