Gasification

Gasification - Cost of energy or fuel is the biggest portion of production cost for the industries, therefore the high price of oil in the international market will also lead into a high production cost and causes the product cannot compete with others. Gas pipelines and land CNG are the obvious means for the onshore transport of natural gas. But where distance between sources and users increase, gas price will also become economically unattractive. Coal gasification is energy saving system which has the new

concept to diversify the energy of solid coal into valuable gas for direct combustion and replace the role of fuel oil and natural gas. The concept is also named environmental friendly technology since emission and particles that come from conventional coal burning also slightly reduced.

Technology of Coal Gasification

Coal gasification is a degradation process including consequence thermal and thermochemical process which convert the carbon and hydrogen inside the coal into gases. Coal was introduced and burned incompletely with oxygen and steam, producing synthetic gases which consist of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen and impurities such small particles, ash and tars.

Benefits of Coal Gasification

The price of coal gas is relatively cheaper than other burning fuel oil and LPG, therefore the efficiency of energy cost for production will be increased.

The higher availability of Indonesian coal reserves compared to oil and gas.

The level of emission is low since the gas had been purified.

The caloric value of coal gas is relatively constant.

Production of coal gas is flexible, the volume and pressure are adjustable based on the customer requirements.

Wide range of industrial application, such as burner for furnace, kiln and oven in ceramic, metal, paper and textile industries.
