PDF In Situ Coal Gasification: an Emerging Technology1

An oxidant (usually air, oxygen, or steam) is injected into the coal seam and reacts with the coal and water present in the seam to produce syngas that is extracted through a production well. As the gasification process proceeds, the cavity grows radially outward and upward from the injection well.

As mentioned above, different combinations or concentrations of gasification agents are applied in biomass gasification technologies. The use of one or another gasification agent leads to a different composition of product gas, so the choice among them is made based on a balance between the final product gas specification (for downstream application) and process costs [14].
