Phase II– Subbituminous Coal
Advanced Slurry Feed Entrained Flow Gasifier
Advantages
• 2-stage entrained bed
slagging gasifier
• Slurry feed
• Suitable for low rank
coals
• High efficiency
• High pressure
operation
Disadvantages
• Early stage of
development
• High water content of
feed slurry
• Refractory lined
• Higher methane
content (could limit
CO2 recovery)
• No water quench
Phase II: Lignite
Siemens Gasifier
Advantages
• Dry feed
entrained bed
slagging gasifier
• Cooling screen
• Water quench
• Developed for
low rank coals
Disadvantages
• Drying of coal
• Lack of
operating
experience at
high pressure
