Abstract
Coal gasification is a key technology for converting coal into substitute natural gas (SNG), the common feedstock for synthesis of chemicals and electricity generation. Now, the development of coal gasification technologies is conducted for commercialization all over the world. Nippon Steel & Sumikin Engineering Co., Ltd. developed the innovative coal gasification technology using the highly efficient two-stage entrained flow gasifier (ECOPRO®), and testing has been completed at the pilot plant with a throughput of 20 t/d, verifying applicability of the process to low-rank coals including brown coal as well as its operating stability. This paper reports on the experiences in the development of ECOPRO® and results from operating the pilot plant using brown coal and other low-rank coals as feedstock.
