Modelling, simulation and design of an integrated radiant syngas cooler and steam methane reformer for use with coal gasification

In this work, a novel process intensification design is proposed to integrate the Radiant Syngas Cooler (RSC) utilised to cool the coal-derived synthesis gas in entrained-bed gasifiers and a steam methane reformer (SMR). The feasibility of the proposed integrated system is analyzed by developing a rigorous, dynamic, multi-dimensional model and establishing design heuristics for the integrated system. Two different flow configurations are …
