IGT U-GAS Gas Process: demonstration plant program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6753996
The Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division of the City of Memphis and the Department of Energy have entered into a contract to design, construct, and operate the Industrial Fuel Gas Demonstration Plant. The plant is based upon the U-GAS Gas Process developed by the Institute of Gas Technology for converting coal to a medium-Btu (300 +- 30 Btu/SCF) fuel gas, and is to demonstrate the technical, economic, and environmental performance of the process. The demonstration plant will incorporate full-scale U-GAS gasifiers using the data base developed at the U-GAS Pilot Plant. It will process about 3158 tons per day of Western Kentucky No. 9 coal, producing approximately 154 million SCF per day of fuel gas. The gas will be distributed to industrial customers through a dedicated pipeline system.
