LNG, COAL-TO-GAS and BIOMASS TRANSFORMATION
LNG
We provide sophisticated automatic protection
systems to monitor and control the tank levels,
pressures, temperatures and any potential leakage
from LNG storage tanks.
We provide complete control system platform
(software and hardware) for commercial LNG processes
to reduce the energy consumption. For small scale
LNG plants like the remote gas liquefaction process,
we provide compact, simple and yet effective
controls to reduce losses at an affordable and
attractive price.
COAL TO GAS AND BIOMASS TRANSFORMATION
The first step in one of the coal-to-gas processes
is to feed the coal or biomass and the catalyst into
the methanation reactor. Inside the reactor,
pressurized steam is injected to “fluidize” the
mixture and ensure constant contact between the
catalyst and the carbon particles. In this
environment, unlike the conventional gasification
shown above, the catalyst facilitates multiple
chemical reactions between the carbon and the steam
on the surface of the coal or biomass. These
reactions (shown below) catalyzed in a single
reactor generate a mixture predominately composed of
methane and CO2.
Catalytic Gasification Reactions
Steam carbon:
C + H2O CO + H2
Water-gas shift:
CO + H2O H2 + CO2
Hydro-gasification
2H2 + C CH4
As part of the overall process the production
facility recovers most of the contaminants in coal
as useful by-products and, in addition, roughly half
the carbon in the coal is captured as a pure CO2
stream suitable for sequestration.

technology can help control, automate and optimize
these processes faster, more easily and at a far
attractive cost compared to alternative or
competitor options.
