Anthracite mining group’s confusion over developing gasification technology
Thread Content
Jincheng produces high-quality anthracite coal, which is widely used in fixed-bed gasification of small and medium-sized fertilizer plants. However, the company now plans to develop fluidized bed gasification technology. However, the direct consequence of the development of gasification technology is that there is no market for high-quality anthracite coal. With the technological transformation of small and medium-sized fertilizer plants,* * If the controlled fixed-bed gasifier is launched, anthracite will lose its market. The company is now investing in the development of new gasification technology, but this will have an impact on anthracite coal sales. There are different voices inside, everyone comes up with ideas, what should we do?
It is a bit premature and unfounded to say that anthracite is useless. After new technologies come out, they are basically used in new projects. A considerable number of nitrogen fertilizer companies still do not have the funds to transform. The biggest impact on anthracite may be that the price will drop a part. From the perspective of overall macro-control, fluidized bed technology is worthy of development and promotion as it also saves energy.
What are the reasons why fluidized bed has not been promoted like fixed bed and air-flow bed gasification?
