Coal to Gas and Chemicals Is a Huge New Market for Filtration and Centrifugation
Nearly half a century ago U.S. filter supplied a drum filter for the direct liquefaction pilot plant in Wilsonville, AL. The concept was that just grinding, hydrogenating and filtering the slurry was a better route than Fischer Tropsch to make high quality fuels. Now, China has proven that this is true with large scale coal-to-liquids plants. They also plan to supply most of the gas for industrial and commercial uses in the big cities from coal gas piped in from the West and North. Forty projects are in planning and construction. These projects will use 1.6 billion tons of coal per year. The entire U.S. coal consumption is less than one billion tons. Filtration is the central process in direct liquefaction and is used in a number of processes in indirect gasification. Details are found in our Liquid Filtration and Sedimentation Market reports.
