Gasification of Coal and Biomass: Principles and Applications
(8 PDH)
Product Description
Buffalo dates can be simulcast as a Webinar - Call 877.352.8821 for details
Gasification can be summarized as the combination of various thermal processes to convert any combustible solid to a clean mixture of gases, to be used either for combustion to generate electricity or for chemical synthesis to produce liquid fuels or other useful products. It is the essential first step in processes for the complete, non-polluting combustion of coal or biomass for electric power, and to the only commercially viable options for large scale production of gasoline or diesel from US domestic, resources, plus a wide range of industrial processes.
All processes are based on a dozen or so chemical reactions, happening in various concurrent and sequential combinations, as determined by a wide range of equipment designs and process sequences. This course covers the basics of all the established and a few developmental processes for electric power generation from coal, biomasses and refuse, and conversion to clean liquid fuels. In the absence of any single process option for any given application, design is essentially empirical, based on scaling up from laboratory and pilot scale data. All designs require trade-offs between the effects of a wide range of physical and chemical properties, to achieve the most thermally efficient, economical and environmentally benign products.
This course will enable engineers to:
Understand technical descriptions of all chemical, process and key equipment design for the gasification of coal, biomass or refuse, for production of electric power or conversion to liquid fuels
Evaluate developers claims and laboratory or operating data for proposed and commercial processes involving gasification
Do basic, conceptual engineering calculations for such processes
Seek and comprehend more advance information on the subject as needed for rational selection of equipment and process options
Topics covered will include:
Physical and chemical properties of coal, biomass and refuse feeds, and their effect of selection/performance of gasifiers
Gasifier designs, both commercially demonstrated and experimental, with relative merits of each for various feeds and product objectives
Peripheral equipment for feed preparation and handling, and down-stream applications, including gas reforming and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of gasoline and diesel
Recommended for:
