Gasification (TCG)

The gasification as a thermochemical process has been very well known for centuries.

When the logs or limestone rocks are placed in piles or hills (boxes) that are heated from below, but are not allowed to ignite with the help of a layer of sand carried on top of the pile and providing a permanent closed layer, which closes the logs or limestone rocks from the air, so they cannot to catch fire.

This process taking place at high temperatures in an oxygen-deficient environment is a rudimentary “thermal degradation” just like the gasification process.

In the United States hundreds of gasification power plants have been working for decades and provides a big part of the total electric energy of the energy production of the country. These power plants are using different kinds of coals and the flue gas are only more or less filterized.

Unlike these, the TCG technology is a completely closed system, where the generated synthesis gas is separated and discharged by the system, while other gaseous materials are returned to the pyrolysis chamber until its hydrogen and carbon atoms form synthesis gas, which can be separated and piped from the water purification system to the storage tank. The remaining non-hydrogen and non-carbon atoms do not leave the system until they accumulate and are discharged either in the solid ash or in the filter sludge of the water and gas purification system.

The total emission of the entire plant is between 5% and 40% of the emission of a traditional power plant depending upon the feed material and the end product. This unbelievable decreasing of emission is due to the very effective filtering (water and gas cleaning system) the most advanced feeding-, the process controlling-, and the VIPTM subsystems.

The entire process control system is managed by an industrial computer and sensor system including more than 100 sensors to controll the temperature, the pressure and the moisture content of the gas mixture within the pyrolysis chamber and the reactor coils.

The gasification system is not only heating and thermally degrading the grained feed materials, but reorganizes the atoms to form the gases of the syngas on an optimal level compared to the known other pyrolysis systems, where the process is just happens and the operators can not determine the quality of the product syngas.

This unique thermal degradating unit - Gasification Unit - can be adjusted depending upon the requested quality of the syngas. Depending upon the end products requested the gas components ratios have to be different. In case of electric energy the GenSets need a very narrow range of quality with a high CH4 content and just some percent of hydrogen because the rotating lamellas of the gas turbines brake, and the turbines malfunction.

The TCG technology takes into account the natural behavior mechanisms of the materials and the internal balance elements of the processes, which would keep the system at a stable resting point if we, during production, do not move it further by not withdrawing a part of the synthesis gas from the system.

By changing the pressure and/or temperature and/or humidity, we help the system restore its stability by letting nature produce synthesis gas. If a part of the generated synthesis gas is extracted - we destabilize the gas system - the system - in the spirit of stability - “manufactures” the “extracted” synthesis gas during natural processes.
