Coal Gasification an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

Coal Gasification an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

Coal gasification can also be carried out on seams that are still in place, the coal being converted to gaseous fuels without an intermediate mining operation. This process, known as in situ or underground gasification, typically involves drilling boreholes to intersect the seam in at least two places, and providing a passage for gas through the seam from one intersection to the other.

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of converting hydrocarbon materials into synthesis gas insitu. Underground coal gasification is sometimes referred to as insitu coal gasification (ISCG). The process has been developed over more than a century, though only a few projects currently operate on a continuous basis.

PDF In Situ Coal Gasification: an Emerging Technology1

The resource for UCG is principally unmined coal seams. The gasification process creates synthesis gas that can be used as fuel, or feedstock for further chemical processes such as NH 3 production or liquid fuels. An oxidant (usually air, oxygen, or steam) is injected into the coal seam and reacts with the coal and water present in the seam to ...

Underground Coal Gasification: A Brief Review of Current Status

Coal gasification is a promising option for the future use of coal. Similarly to gasification in industrial reactors, underground coal gasification (UCG) produces syngas, which can be used for power generation or for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemical products.

Aquathermolysis of bitumen occurs when it is thermally cracked in the presence of water. Current in situ technologies for bitumen production, such as Cyclic Steam Stimulation and SteamAssisted Gravity Drainage, inject high pressure, high temperature steam in the reservoir to heat the bitumen which in turn lowers its viscosity enabling flow to a production well.
