Understanding Coal Gasification

Coal gasification is a specialized process used to extract Syngas (Synthetic Gas) from coal. Syngas serves as a key raw material in the production of:
Methanol
Hydrogen
Polypropylene
Urea
Acetic Acid
This process involves burning powdered coal with oxygen at high temperatures to produce Syngas, which is then refined and utilized in various industrial applications.
The Role of IGCC in Power Generation
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is an innovative power generation system that integrates coal gasification technology to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. This system has gained significant attention due to its:
High combustion and power generation efficiency
Lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional coal power plants
Moreover, emerging technologies like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are being combined with IGCC to achieve near-zero emissions. The rapid global adoption of IGCC + CCS technology marks a significant step toward sustainable energy solutions.
Qublock’s Advanced Valve Solutions for Coal Gasification
In coal gasification, whether the coal is in powdered form or not, the switching valve used in the Lock-Hopper system must have the capability to shut down under high pressure. Qublock’s advanced ball valves are designed to meet these demanding conditions.
Key Features of Qublock Ball Valves
Superior Sealing Performance: The perfect roundness of the ball and scraper-shaped metal seats ensure stable operation and effective shut-off under high pressure.
High Safety Standards for Oxygen Service: Our clean room facility ensures that ball valves used for oxygen service meet stringent water- and oil-free requirements under high-quality control measures.
Reliable and Durable: Qublock’s ball valves are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of coal gasification plants, ensuring long-term, maintenance-free performance.
