Coal Requirement from Experimental Syngas Yield<br />

The coal-black liquor gasification process was designed to achieve <strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>nual DME yield<br />

<strong>of</strong> 0.8 million tons per year DME.<br />

Experimental results were found in <strong>the</strong> literature to determine <strong>an</strong> average syngas<br />

composition. The calorific value <strong>of</strong> syngas was calculated from <strong>the</strong> average syngas composition<br />

<strong>an</strong>d lower heating values <strong>of</strong> individual syngas components.<br />
