In petroleum refining, gasification is a process used to convert petroleum coke into value added products. Gasification is a commercially used manufacturing process to convert carbon containing materials such as coal, petroleum coke, biomass, or waste into synthesis gas. This synthesis gas is burned to produce electricity or processed to manufacture chemicals, fertilizers, liquid fuel, substitute natural gas (SNG), or hydrogen. Gasification consists of five discrete processes: drying, pyrolysis, combustion, cracking, and reduction. Pyrolysis is the process of heating raw biomass in the absence of air. This breaks it down into charcoal and various tar gasses and liquids. Cracking is the process of breaking down of complex molecules such as tar into lighter gases by exposure to heat. This process is utilized in the production of clean gas, which is compatible with an internal combustion engine. Reduction is the process of removal of oxygen atoms from combustion products of hydrocar...
