What is Gasification
Gasification is a process in which combustible materials are partially oxidized or partially combusted. Gasification processes operate in an oxygen-lean environment
Gasification Processes
Comparison of the primary products created by the main fuel constituents in combustion and gasification

Typical Syngas composition

LHV of Natural Gas is around 38-45 MJ/Nm3

Syngas Cleaning for Integrating With a Combined Cycle

Clean-up Required for following : Particulate Matter Sulfur species & Chlorides to prevent rapid corrosion of hot section parts and recover more heat from GT exhaust. Nitrogen-containing species to prevent formation of fuelbound NOx in the GT combustor. Mercury vapor & CO2 in the syngas

Govt. Support needed:

Allocate at least 5% of planned addition of 12th Plan through IGCC Provide grant/aid, tax holiday for setting up IGCC Plant Support higher tariff in PPA

Indian Company to bring technology through collaboration, JV & other routes Construct and operate IGCC plants for further development of technology
