WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Much attention has been focused on reducing the use of petroleum products as fuels, so synthetic gas (Syngas) introduces a great opportunity for energy sustainable developments. Syngas is created either by gasification of plants biomass or waste products (carbonbased) pyrolysis. In principle, Syngas can be produced from any hydrocarbon feedstock. It mainly affects the combustion process in ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The utility of syngas as a fuel was realized in Germany during World War II, when gasoline shortages affected transportation for both the military and civilians. At the time, it was known that coal could be converted to liquid hydrocarbons through either the Bergius process, developed by German chemist Friedrich Bergius, or the FischerTropsch ...
