The U-GAS process combines a single-stage fluidized bed 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 that achieved carbon gasification efficiencies exceeding 90% with coal and char feeds and ash agglomerates have been produced during test operations conducted with coke breeze, Illinois No. 6 bituminous coal and washed and unwashed Western Kentucky No. 9 bituminous coal. U-GAS process tests have been completed at 60 psia (413 kPa) to produce design data for an Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant.
