Goal Gasification

Dow Goal Gasification Process. The Dow coal gasification process (Destec) is a two-stage, slurry feed, entrained-flow, slagging gasifier. 

The plant processes 26,840 TPSD of low sulfur North Dakota lignite. The sulfur is 1.3 wt%/DAF coal. The coal analysis is shown in Table II. Output from the plant is 268,700 MM Btu/day of SNG, equivalent to 45,000 BOE/day. Total production of by-product elemental sulfur is 161 tons/day. This represents 78 wt% of total sulfur input from the coal feedstock. Since goal gasification and indirect liquefaction facilities are most likely to use Western low sulfur lignite or subbituminous coals, this represents the low sulfur case for coal conversion. 

Goal gasification dates back to about 1780, when it was first developed, but the technology and its applications have evolved significantly over the years. When coal gasification was first implemented, the carbon monoxide that was produced was used as a...

Goal Processing to Synthetic Fuels and Other Products. The primary approaches to coal processing or coal conversion are thermal decomposition, including pyrolysis or carbonization (5,6), gasification (6), and Hquefaction by hydrogenation (6). The hydrogenation of coal is not currently practiced commercially. 

Recommendation 8-4. Because there are a number of similarities between the integrated gasification combined cycle process and the coal-to-hydrogen process, the committee endorses the continuation of both programs in tandem at budget levels that are determined to be adequate to meet the programs goals.
