How Ruchi furnaces reduce methane content in gases

I heard there is a second oxygenation step; I wonder if that’s feasible
Why reduce methane levels? It’s so much more profitable to separate it out for LNG!
Separation requires washing with cryogenic liquid nitrogen, which is very costly.
Due to the special characteristics of its reaction bed, the Luchi furnace results in a high methane content in its raw gas; therefore, adding oxygen to facilitate its conversion seems counterintuitive. It’s better to change the furnace type then!
The level of methane is primarily determined by factors such as the elemental composition of the coal, reaction temperature, and pressure. It is determined by the operating conditions and furnace type selection.
The level of methane is influenced by the moisture and volatiles in coal, as well as the furnace temperature. There is a direct proportionality between moisture and volatiles and methane, while there is an inverse proportionality between the furnace temperature and methane
