Abstract

The process of coal gasification for synthetic gas production is currently seeing renewed interest due to the possibility it offers as a clean coal technology. The technology faces some financial challenges if it is to replace traditional pulverised coal combustion as a method for power generation without the help of government subsidisation. The report set out to investigate the aspects of gasifier design which provided high capital costs and to look at ways in which new future technology might be able to reduce these. The report consequently completed a preliminary design of a new novel gasifier, which was based on the findings.
