In contrast to traditional combustion, gasification technologies
offer the potential for converting coal and low or negative-value
feedstocks, such as petroleum coke and various waste materials into
usable energy sources or chemicals. With a growing number of
companies operating and marketing systems based on gasification
concepts worldwide, this book combines the latest information and
real-world experience in developing gasification technologies.
Gasification Technologies: A Primer for Engineers and Scientists
discusses gasification techniques and the benefits of each
technology, including gas clean-up technologies and those used in
hybrid systems and fuel cells. It also accounts for the primary
products that are recovered and explains how these products are
purified and can be used as fuel or for applications in
petrochemical processes. The book describes the conditions in which
optimal value intermediate products can be recovered, focusing on
key factors such as oxygen or air blown reactor, operating
temperature, internal and external heating, and reactor design. The
authors also establish how gasification can help meet renewable
energy targets, address concerns about global warming, and
contribute to a better carbon management or achieving Kyoto
Protocol commitments.
Gasification Technologies provide a multidimensional and
well-rounded examination of current technology, research,
applications, and development challenges for the commercialization
of this increasingly popular technology.
