Challenges in Gasification Technology
Gasification technology is providing the world with energy alternatives as we move toward increasing use of clean coal power generation. Coal gasification has been in existence for over 100 years, but this methodology poses many challenges. The latest gasification technologies used in power generation depend on extreme operating temperatures and pressures to obtain high operating efficiencies. Engineering materials are typically exposed to temperatures up to 900oC (1600oF) and pressures up to 4.5 MPa (650 psi). The chemical environment inside of a coal gasifier is extreme and contains every element from the periodic table to some degree. The most common aggressive components of syngas found in concentrations greater than 1% are H2O, H2, CO2, CO, and H2S gases. In addition to the aggressive nature of the chemical environment, solid deposits can also lead to unique materials degradation issues that need specialized attention.
