Production of synthetic gasoline and diesel fuels by alternative processes using natural gas, coal and biomass: process simulation and economic analysis
The problem of producing synthetic liquid fuels by alternative routes is addressed. Industrial processes known as Gas To Liquid (GTL), Coal To Liquid (CTL) and Biomass To Liquid (BTL) are considered: they use natural gas, coal and biomass as feedstocks, respectively. By means of process simulation, it is shown that the fuel produced on a weight basis per unit of feedstock (natural gas, coal and ...

Water Risks on the Rise for Three Global Energy Production Hot Spots
Energy runs on water. In fact, among industries, the global energy sector is the world’s largest water user. Almost all forms of energy production and power generation depend upon water for their operations. This tension causes stress in both the energy and water worlds. Three-quarters of energy respondents to a 2012 CDP Global Water Survey confirmed that they experienced water-related ...

Pressurised pulverised coal combustion ? a coal-based combined-cycle state of the cooperative project: cleaned flue gas matches specifications for use with gas turbines
A high efficiency of 60% in a combined-cycle power plant technology with fuels like gas or light oil is estimated to be achievable. On the other hand existing conventional coal-fired power plants based on steam generation have an efficiency of about 40?45%. A huge potential of improvement in efficiency could be achieved by the implementation of a simple and cost-effective technology: PPCC, a ...

Coal Gasifier & Biomass Gasifier
Syngas analyzer apply in gasifier 1. Coal gasifier The coal gasifier can be divided into four modes by the movement pattern of the coal in the gasifier: fixed bed (moving bed), fluidized bed, entrained bed and molten bed. While it can be summarized to atmospheric and high pressure styles according to the gasification operating pressure. Based on the feeding method, the coal gasifier contains ...

Biomass Briquetting Plant For Processing Agro Waste
Fuel sources are required for a number of thermal applications like boilers, heaters, dryers and usually conventional fuel sources like coal, charcoal, diesel, petrol and liquid fuel are used. However these fossil fuel sources are expensive and polluting, containing sulphur, fly ash and other atmospheric pollutants which damage the environment. So increasingly businesses are using a biomass ...

Generation using gas-fuelled engines in South Africa – an overview
Most gas engines are Otto cycle spark ignition internal combustion reciprocating engines using natural gas as the primary fuel. Smaller models utilise stochiometric combustion while the larger engines are lean burn engines with pre-chamber ignition systems. The engines are coupled with packaged generator sets, cogeneration and, even, trigeneration units to optimise energy utilisation in the fuel ...
