Engineering Support Services for the DOE/GRI (Department of Energy/Gas Research Institute) Coal Gasification Research Program. Topical Report: Evaluation of the CNG Acid Gas Removal Process. Volume 1

摘要

As part of the technical support services for the DOE/GRI Joint Coal Gasification Research Program, Foster Wheeler conducted an evaluation of the low temperature acid gas removal process under development by CNG Research Company. Conceptual designs and cost estimates were developed for commercial scale acid gas removal process units based on the CNG technology. Volume I of the report summarizes the case study in which the CNG process is applied to treating a raw syngas stream derived from Lurgi fixed bed gasification of lignite. A technical assessment of the CNG acid gas removal process was made relative to areas where additional design data and process optimization are needed for commercial scale-up.
