British project aims to use energy from coal to produce clean electricity
Very interesting article looking at a recent development in commercial coal gasification in the UK and using the syngas produced to generate energy either using the hydrogen in fuel cells or a process like the Fischer Tropsch (FT) process to turn the syngas into a synthetic petroleum substitute.
Coal and biomass gasification are things we and our suppliers at Rubotherm are actively involved in on a research scale. Using the Rubotherm MSB or HP TGA these gasification processes can be carried out at high temperatures and raised pressures to get an understanding of the process and product produced.
FT research is something Merrow Scientific are also actively involved in in the UK market with our fixed bed and slurry reactors from Autoclave Engineers. Mainly carried out in oven based environments this custom configured systems allow users to carry out exact research on a small scale to develop alternative fuel sources.
