| A new Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne gasifier design shows promise in working more efficiently and producing cheaper electricity than gasifiers from GE and Shell. Existing solids gasifiers are very large, heavy wall vessels and the Rocketdyne technology promises to significantly reduce the size of the gasifier. The reduced size will be achieved with fast mixing and feed pump technologies developed at Rocketdyne’s pilot plant facility at Des Plaines, Illinois and testing at the Grand Forks, North Dakota testing facility. See “Comparison of Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne IGCC and Commercial IGCC Performance,” June 2006. |
