The ash sample for this study was collected from a commercialscale fixedbed gasification unit in the eastern part of India. This coal gasification plant (CGP) has a syn gas production capacity of 2,25,000 Nm 3/h with a coal requirement of around 270 tons/hr. The plant was built based on Lurgi, Germany SLTC, S. Africa technology.
The older Lurgi process is a dry ash gasification process which differs significantly from the more recently developed slagging process (Baughman, 1978; Massey, 1979). The dry ash Lurgi gasifier is a pressurized vertical kiln which accepts crushed (1/4 × 13/4 in.; 6 × 44 mm) noncaking coal and reacts the moving bed of coal with steam and ...

Gasification is a coal conversion process that could be considered to be more amenable with regards to environmental impact factors when compared to combustion, as it provides minimum direct emission to the atmosphere due to the opportunity to apply a series of gas cleaning processes. Emissions could be in the form of the well known trace elements labelled as toxic present in feed coal.

Figure : SasolLurgi Fixed Bed Dry Bottom (FBDB) gasifier. In the gasification process, fluxing elementsbearing minerals or nonmineral inorganic elements interact with aluminium silicate present in the coal to lower the melting points of the aluminium silicate and subsequently form the melt (Matjie et al., 2006).
Lurgi dry bottom pressurized coal gasifier The Sasol Lurgi gasification process comprises the reaction of steam and O2 with lump sized, low or medium caking coals on a rotating grate at pressures of 20 kg/sq cm to 30 kg/sq cm. The gasifier for the dry bottom pressurized coal gasification process is shown in Fig 9.
The process followed by Sasol in the production of liquid fuels from coal is briefly described. Synthesis gas is produced via Lurgi coal gasification and hydrocarbons are synthesized via FischerTropsch process. The technology of the FischerTropsch synthesis as utilized at the Sasol I and II plants is described.
The more complex the gasification process, the more complex is the wastewaterprocessing scheme. On this basis, the movingbed technologies (Lurgi and British Gas/Lurgi) typically require the most complex wastewaterprocessing scheme, while the entrainedflow gasifiers require a relatively simple processing scheme. In either case, wastewater ...
2005. Sasol utilises low grade coal in a Lurgi gasification process to produce synthesis gas from which ash is an inevitable coproduct. Gasification ash, referred to as coarse ash, is a clinker ash with heterogeneous texture varying from fine material to large irregularly shaped aggregates. Ash utilisation opportunities can be separated into ...
In the Shell gasification process, coal is crushed and dried and then fed into the Shell gasifier as a dry feed. The gasifier, as shown in Figure 8, is an oxygenblown, waterwall gasifier eliminating refractory durability issues. It is good for wide variety of feed stocks, from pet coke to lowrank coals and has been run on biomass as well.
•There are two key steps involved in this process. •The gasification of coal to hydrogen and carbon monoxide. ... •Sasol currently operates 97 Lurgi gasifiers (Dry Erasmus, 1987).
By 1982 SASOL had a capacity of nearly million gallons of oil and gasoline per day using Lurgi Fixed Bed Gasifiers. The SASOL plants remain the largest collection of coal gasifiers in the world today and include 80 ...

This plant started production in 1955 and today Sasol has 25 years' practical experience with the production of synthesis gas via Lurgi coal gasification and the synthesis of hydrocarbons by the FischerTropsch process. In 1975 the decision was taken to build a much larger FischerTropsch plant, mainly for the production of motor fuels, and ...
The plant uses Lurgi coal gasification, Lurgi Rectisol, and Lurgi Phenosolvan processes. Present production of 219 million cu ft/day is provided by 11 of the 13 installed gasifiers. Over the 17 years of operation the plant has achieved an average longterm availability of 85 percent on the gasifiers and 97 percent on the Rectisol gas ...

Gasification process technology. Higman C., in Advances in Clean Hydrocarbon Fuel Processing, 2011. Moving bed gasifiers. Moving bed gasifiers (also called fixed bed gasifiers) are characterized by a bed, in which the solid feed (coal or coke) moves slowly downward under gravity as it is gasified by a blast or oxidant, which generally, but not universally, moves in countercurrent to the feed.

The FischerTropsch process is a catalytic chemical reaction in which carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2) in the syngas are converted into hydrocarbons of various molecular weights according to the following equation: (2n+1) H 2 + n CO → C n H (2n+2) + n H 2 O. Where n is an integer. Thus, for n=1, the reaction represents the formation of ...
