Getting ready to demo 'warm' syngas cleanup at Polk IGCC

摘要

Among the priorities for IGCC (integrated gasification combined cycle) technology if it is ever to realise its potential as a clean coal technology must be to reduce costs and complexity. Warm syngas cleanup technology - shortly to be demonstrated on a 50 MWe equivalent syngas slipstream from the Polk 1 IGCC plant in the USA, under a $168.8 million US Department of Energy funded programme -could make a significant contribution.
