Showing papers on "Substitute natural gas published in 1998"
TL;DR: In this paper, a high efficiency process for producing substitute natural gas using LPG and naphtha as raw materials was developed, where sulfur poisoning of the steam reforming catalyst is protected and the amount of catalyst used can be reduced applying a high performance desulfurization technology developed.

TL;DR: The first commercial gasification plant based on IGT's U-GAS gasification technology was completed in 1994 and a 100 ton-per-day facility was designed and built in Hawaii to process bagasse as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) has been developing gasification technologies since the 1960 s for the purpose of producing synthetic natural gas, low and medium synthesis gas for power generation and chemical production. All types of fossil fuels were investigated from coal to oil shale to biomass and waste. By 1994, the first commercial gasification plant based on IGT’s U-GAS gasification technology was completed. For biomass gasification, IGT developed the RENUGAS process. A 100 ton-per-day facility was designed and built in Hawaii to process bagasse. For the next step, IGT’s biomass gasification technology will be demonstrated at a 1000 ton-per-day alfalfa stem plant in Minnesota to produce 75 MWe of power. This paper presents an update on the progress made in the Hawaii plant.
