Gasification is a much cleaner process than combustion(incineration) for converting carbonaceous materials toeneray.
In gasification, the fuel or converted to chemicals such as ammonia for industrial or agricultural use. The differences between
gasification and combustion are best understood by comparing the chemical reactions involved ineach process.
As can be seen by comparing the typical combustion and incineration reactions the levels of SO, andNO are much reduced by first
gasifying the fuels prior to combustion of the syngas product.
