Siemens Fuel Gasifier
Gasification offers one of the cleanest and most flexible
ways of converting coal and low-grade fuels into high-value
products -- electricity, chemicals or synthetic fuels.
Combining gasification with advanced gas turbines in Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants results
in a highly efficient technology for coal-based power
generation. Gasification can offer environmentally friendly
plants with lower emissions and the combination with readily
available technology for COv(2) Capture and Storage (CCS).

The entrained-flow Siemens Fuel Gasifier (SFG) is able
to convert a large range of fuels and is ideally suited
for lower-rank fuels like lignite with high ash and
moisture content. The technology with its unique cooling
screen design and the efficient dry-feeding system is
based on more than 30 years of continuous product development
Main features of Siemens Fuel Gasification
