option is to convert coal into high quality, clean burning transportation fuel. There are two commercially demonstrated routes for converting coal to transportation fuels through gasification (Figure 1). The widely known FischerTropsch process was first discovered in the 1920s. It has been commercially practiced by Sasol in several
1. Gasification is a technological process that can convert any carbonbased raw material such as coal, biomass and organic wastes into fuel gas, also known as syngas (netl, 2021). Gasification typically takes place in a high temperature pressure vessel where oxygen (or air)

Production of liquid transportation fuels from coal biomass requires significant amounts of water, for three major purposes: 1) process cooling demands in coal conversion will often be met by wet evaporative cooling, which is associated with consumption of water through evaporation just as ...
Sasol, a South African company, has produced billion barrels of synthetic fuel fiom about 800 million tons of coal since 1955. Sasol continues to supply about 29% of South Africa's fuel needs from While the technology for producing synthetic fuels from coal or natural gas has been around for
•Sasol's original coal to liquid plant at Sasolburg was commissioned in 1955 known as Sasol I (Dry Erasmus, 1987). •In the early 1980s, two large coal to liquid plants were commissioned in
The main function of the gasifier is to convert solid coal into syngas. However, coal contains water in its pore structure, the amounts varying depending on the type of coal utilized. ... Today, the SasolLurgi coal gasification process is the world's most broadly utilized commercial technology and is the largest producer of syngas worldwide ...
steps: (i) coal gasification; and (ii) conversion of the gas (called syngas) to liquid fuels (Fig. 1). A variety of CTL/GTL technologies for converting coal feedstock into liquid fuels exists, the most popular being Fisher Tropsch process. Generally the steps involved are: (i) feedstock preparation; (ii) gasification; (iii) syngas cleanup; (iv ...
Today Sasol produces the equivalent of 150,000 bbl/day of fuels and chemical feedstock from more than 40 million tons of low grade coal. In converting coal to petroleum products, coal is first gasified with oxygen and steam to syngas, a mixture of H{sub 2} and CO, which after purification is converted to hydrocarbons and some oxygenates by ...
Some physical and chemical characteristics of calcium lignosulphonatebound coal fines. Africa's major energy source, with over 90% of the country's electricity being produced via coalfired processes (Arndt et al., 2016). Sasol's coal conversion technology alone provides more than 40%..
•Gasification is an oxygen deficient combustion process, which converts coal to syngas. •Fischer Tropsch process uses syngas to produce high molecular hydrocarbon fuels. •The processes are ...
The influence of coal slurry concentration and oxygen/coal ratio on the syngas contents is studied as CO, CO 2 and H 2 contents can reveal the syngas quality. To enhance the gasification process and generate raw syngas with high quality, higher slurry concentration and oxygen supply is shown to be one of the suitable solutions.
CONCLUSION. • Gasification is an oxygen deficient combustion process, which converts coal to syngas. • Fischer Tropsch process uses syngas to produce high molecular hydrocarbon fuels. • The ...
Coal utilization Gasification: While the goal of combustion is to produce the maximum amount of heat possible by oxidizing all the combustible material, the goal of gasification is to convert most of the combustible solids into combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. During gasification, coal initially undergoes devolatilization, and the residual char undergoes some ...
IGCC process which is, no doubt, a complicated energy conversion process formed by many interconnected subsystem modules. In the IGCC process, the coal slurry and oxygen react in the gasifier and generate syngas primarily made of H 2 and CO. The WGS raises the H 2 and CO 2 concentration while reducing the CO content. The sweet
SASOL: COAL TO FUEL PROCESS (GASIFICATION) ENCH4PP Nerrissa Ellappen : ... Remove contaminants in the feedstock and to produce a clean syngas product. Convert wastes or lowvalue ...
Converting coal to chemicals Air Products GP syngas cooler technology has successfully supplied syngas and steam to a Baling fertilizer plant since 2006. Feeding 2,000 tons of dry pulverized coal per day produces syngas for urea/fertilizer and caprolactam (nylon) manufacture. An Air Products highpressure gasification
Synthetic natural gas (SNG) is one of the commodities that can be produced from coalderived syngas through the methanation process. The economic viability of producing SNG through coal gasification is heavily dependent on the market prices of natural gas and the coal feedstock to be used, the value of byproducts such as carbon dioxide (CO2) (which could be used for EOR), and additionally the ...
Abstract. ''Synthetic fuel'' the Sasol way involves two major steps and several minor ones. Major steps are the Lurgi gasification and the FischerTropsch (Synthol) liquefaction,. It is known that the Sasol units use about 14 million tons of coal per year. About 65% of the coal production is gasified and the rest is used to generate steam and ...
A decrease in the pressure of the FischerTropsch synthesis from 2 to and MPa was shown to exert a detrimental effect on the catalytic performance of the process carried out with a ...

In fact, the dominant application of synthesis gas from coal is the production of synthetic hydrocarbons for transportation fuels Fischer Tropsch (FT) synthesis. This is what is primarily done in South Africa by the company Sasol and was also one of the methods used by the Germans in WWII to generate liquid fuels; in fact, direct ...

Gasification is often considered the baseline technology and foundation for developing many advanced carbonbased fuels and chemicals. For example, gasification is the key conversion step for converting coal to H 2, Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), liquid fuels, and the capture of CO 2 for sequestration.
