LNG
We provide sophisticated automatic protection systems to monitor and control the tank levels, pressures, temperatures and any potential leakage from the inner LNG storage tanks.
We provide major complete controls for commercial LNG to reduce operation energy consumption.
For small scale LNG plant, like remote gas liquefaction, it is neither economic nor practical to use major commercial processes. In these situations, we provide simpler, yet effective controls to reduce losses.

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.
Our BLAST technology can help control and optimize the process thereby providing speedy recovery of the huge investments for these plants. |
