Presentation / Conference
Long, X., Skoulou, V., Paterson, N., & Agorio-Millan, M. (2014, September). Production of syngas by pressurized fluidized bed gasification of German Lignite in a H2O/CO2 atmosphere. Presented at 10th European Conference on Coal Research and its Applications (10th ERCCIA)

The oxyfuel gasification concept enables a N2 free gas to be obtained by fluidised bed gasification (FBG). This process uses CO2 to moderate the bed temperature and thus agglomeration. An alternative cooling medium is steam, which could be employed a... Read More about Production of syngas by pressurized fluidized bed gasification of German Lignite in a H2O/CO2 atmosphere.
