Description:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development has undertaken an extensive study to determine synthetic fuel plant waste stream characteristics and to evaluate potentially applicable pollution control systems. The purpose of this and all other PCTMs is to convey this information in a manner that is readily useful to designers, permit writers, and the public. This specific PCTM addresses coal-based synthetic fuels facilities using dry ash Lurgi gasifiers to generate a synthesis process feed gas. Product synthesis technologies examined in this PCTM include: methanation to produce substitute natural gas (SNG), methanol synthesis, Mobil M-gasoline synthesis from methanol, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
