The development project for a 3,000-ton-class space furnace by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation was approved for funding. Author/Source: Date: 2016-03-28; Clicks: 43. Recently, the project titled “Development of a 3,000-ton-per-day capacity space-based pressurized coal gasification furnace” carried out by the Space Engineering Company of the First Academy of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation passed the evaluation process for the company’s 2016 scientific innovation and research projects, and received 2.4 million yuan in funding for research purposes. The evaluation panel believes that this project meets the **policy requirements, contributes to the development of clean coal gasification technology in China, has broad market prospects, and offers good economic, environmental, and social benefits ； The research objectives are clear, the technological innovations are prominent, and the approach is feasible. The project of the aerospace engineering company titled \"Development of a Space Coal Pulverized Pressurized Gasification Furnace with a daily coal processing capacity of 3,000 tons\" is aimed at researching and developing key equipment, process systems, control systems, and other aspects related to large-scale coal gasification technology. The project was officially launched in October 2014, with completion of all research and development work expected by September 2018. It requires overcoming various key technologies, including the overall design of the gasification furnace, the development of new types of pulverized coal burners, and the creation of efficient quenching chambers. The 3,000-ton gasifier features a higher gas production capacity and lower initial investment; moreover, the application of new technologies gives this type of gasifier better environmental and energy-saving advantages. It is in line with the trend toward larger-scale and more intensive development in modern coal chemical industry, as well as the policy requirements regarding clean and efficient use of coal set out in the 13th Five-Year Plan, making it a project with broad prospects.
