Gasification is a flexible, commercially proven and efficient technology, a building block for production of a range of high-value products including clean power, synthetic fuels, and chemicals, from lower value feedstocks.
Installing gasification and syngas cleaning units can reduce overall emissions of SOx, NOx, CO2, particulates, metals and chlorine and can produce useful products to maximize profitability. With continuing developments in the technology, gasification is becoming an important part of the portfolio of available processes to convert carbonaceous materials.

Gasification projects demand strong technical expertise, and the ability to integrate and optimize all of the elements of the planned facility. Our independent technology position means we can deliver the best solution.
For ISAB Energy (now ERG Power and Gas) in Italy, we provided engineering services for a large gasification combined cycle plant (IGCC) based on solvent extracted visbroken vacuum residue feed. The unit produces 512 MWe of power and up to 20,000 nm3 of high purity hydrogen for the adjacent refinery complex. Our involvement included feasibility studies, basic design of non-licensed units, integration design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operation up to successful performance test.
The Piemsa project in Spain, which produces 800 MWe from visbroken vacuum residue, involved a gas turbine selection study prior to producing a basic engineering design package and providing management services to the project.
