The Siemens Fuel Gasifier (SFG) technology with its unique cooling screen design is based on more than 30 years of continuous product development (formerly known as GSP gasifier technology). The first commercial-scale gasifier was installed in Eastern Germany in 1984. It has operated with a large range of fuels until today.
Gasification is ideally suited to convert low-cost fuels into high-value products. The synthesis gas (syngas) produced in the gasifier can be used for power production in an Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle, for the production of high-purity hydrogen, or conversion to methanol, synthetic natural gas (SNG), transportations fuels (e.g. producing Diesel via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis) or other chemicals and fuels. The process is ideally suited to limit the emission of CO2 and other air pollutants and capture them as valuable by-products.
Siemens offers technology license agreements with performance guarantees, process engineering design packages and basic engineering design packages for the gasifier island, and supply of proprietary equipment. We can support you in developing your project, from start with feasibility and FEED studies to implementation with technical field assistance and operations and maintenance services.
In our extensively equipped test facility, we are able to analyze your feedstock and perform fluidization and gasification tests in advance of more detailed and costly project phases.
