scope:

This Code applies to a variety of syngas-conditioning processes that are required for upgrading the raw syngas leaving the gasification block. It is assumed that the gas entering the conditioning block is essentially free of particulates, so particulate removal systems are not considered in this Code.

The Code addresses the principal streams crossing the boundary of the conditioning block (see Figure 3-1-1) and provides methods for measuring stream parameters of interest.

(a) Since the syngas-conditioning block is being tested for its ability to prepare the syngas to serve as fuel for the gas turbine, the measured quantities are

(1) syngas inlet and outlet mass flow rates and compositions

(2) syngas inlet and exit pressures and temperatures

(3) steam and steam turbine condensate inlet and outlet mass flow rate and enthalpy

(4) oxidant consumption rate

(5) auxiliary power requirements

(b) The following list is a summary of the principal measurements needed for testing:

(1) syngas inlet mass flow rate, kg/s

(2) syngas outlet mass flow rate, kg/s

(3) syngas inlet composition

(4) syngas outlet composition

(5) auxiliary power consumption, kWe

(6) steam and steam condensate entering and leaving the block (flow, temperature, pressure)

(7) O₂ entering the system (if applicable) (flow)
