Successful First Feeding of the Catalytic Gasification Unit in SNOW’s Project for Annual Production of 200,000 Tons of Stable Light Hydrocarbons Author/Source: Date: 2018-09-11 Clicks: 21 On September 8, the industrial demonstration unit based on SNOW’s own catalytic gasification technology achieved successful first feeding. The project is located in the Xinoa Industrial Park in Dalat Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It covers an area of 820,000 square meters, and its main production facilities include coal water slurry gasification, purification units, methanol synthesis and distillation systems, catalytic gasification units, hydrogenation gasification units, cryogenic separation units, and units for the stabilization of light hydrocarbons. The catalytic gasification and hydrogenation gasification units constructed by the Second Branch Company are part of a new type of coal gasification project; both units represent the first demonstration units of their kind in China, featuring complex processes and numerous design variations. The coal catalytic gasification technology involved in this project boasts a complete system of independent intellectual property rights; it has received support from multiple **-level projects, and its technology is at the international leading level. This technology represents a new type of efficient gasification method for the clean utilization of coal in the future. The pressure fluidized bed gasifier used in the core reactor of the catalytic gasification unit constructed by the Second Branch is the heaviest, most productive, and highest-pressure fluidized bed gasifier in the world to date. The daily coal processing capacity is 1,500 tons, the reaction temperature ranges from 700 to 800°C, the reaction pressure is 3.0 to 4.5 MPa, and the methane content in the outlet gas can reach 24%.
