Description
Gasification is a much cleaner process than combustion(incineration) for converting carbonaceous materials toenergy.
In gasification,the fuel or converted to chemicals such as ammonia for industrial or agricultural use. The differences
between casification and combustion are best understood by comparing the chemical reactions involved ineach process.
As can be seen by comparing the typical combustion and incineration reactionsthe levels of SO, andNO are much reduced
by first gasifying the fuels prior to combustion of the syngas product.
