The concept of Technology
- Converting coal to syngas (Mixture of hydrogen and CO) by gasification at above 1,000 C
- Removing impurities such as sulfur compounds and dusts in syngas
- Producting liquid fuel from cleaned syngas by the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction
Key Technologies
Gasification process (entrained bed gasifier, CWM manufacturing technique, Burner design)
- Syngas cleaning process (attrition resistant desulfurizing agent, dry-type desulfurization
Reactor design and wet desulfurization process)
- Liquefaction process (highly efficient liquefaction catalyst development, SBCR reactor design, catalyst/product separation technique)
- Scale-up technology
Application
- To construct a domestic commercial-scale coal liquefaction process (5,000 barrel/day)
by step-by-step scale-up
- To develop a coal liquefaction process utilizing low grade coals such as lignite or anthracite.
