China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) is a large state-owned enterprise concentrating on industrial production primarily associated with the aerospace industry. The firm’s Aerospace Technology Applications Group has developed the HT-L gasifier, based on a pressurized, entrained, down-flow reactor, reported to be the result of the conversion and extension of aerospace engine technology.
Operation
The HT-L gasifier/gasification systems technical characteristics include:
The HT-L gasifier is offered commercially in a series of three coal feed capacities, i.e.:
Demonstration and Early Commercialization
Very little information is available on the physical and performance characteristics of the 25 HT-L gasifiers reported to exist at 15 sites within China. The projects have the capacity to consume a total of 24,000 tons coal/hour, to produce 4,300 kt/y ammonia, 500 kt/y methanol and 2,000 m3/yr methane.
