Results of testing an experimental industrial installation for fuel-bed gasification using bituminous coal

Experimental studies on the gasification of thermal bituminous coal of the Belovskaya mine at an experimental industrial installation were performed. Technical characteristics of the investigated coal are given. Composition of the obtained synthesis gas is given based on the results of four full loads of 4 tons each. Residence time for one fuel load was at least 45 minutes. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that composition of the synthesis gas did not change significantly according to the results of four experiments and is suitable for use in energy purposes.
