- Summary
- Since 1972, Braun has been technical evaluation contractor for the joint ERDA-A.G.A. high-Btu coal gasification program. As part of our effort, we are evaluating and comparing various process alternatives in plants designed to produce synthetic pipeline gas from coal. We have recently completed a study of the problems of sulfur management in high-Btu gasification plants. Sulfur Management is defined to be the determination of sulfur processing steps in a high-Btu coal gasification plant, such that all plant product and effluent streams are environmentally and economically acceptable. Our study shows that sulfur removal should be considered in a comprehensive, not piecemeal, way. Such an approach involves many sequential decisions. This report presents a decision-tree to aid in making these decisions. The decision-tree approach identifies major studies which must be performed to provide input for the process decisions. A description of Braun's current study program is given. In addition to current studies, additional process studies and comparisons are required. We have reviewed the needs of the sulfur management program, and recommend additional process studies for implementation.
