History of Gasification. Gasification technology has been well known since 1609 when a Dutch scientist, namely, Jean Baptist van Helmont found the release of gas from coal (i.e., later known as syngas derived coal gasification; syngas mainly consists of carbon monoxide and hydrogen).
We do not want to waste your time with summarizing again the basic facts of the gasificatoion, rather we are focusing the real goals of both the project owners and out company.
If you, dear reader are interested in theory and practice of gasification, several wery accourate works can be found in the internet, similar like this one is: “Gasification Processes Old and New: A Basic Review of the Major Technologies”.
