Technology Partnership
Process Plants Corporation's technology partner is:
·
Energy Technology Partners LLC who are
experts in underground coal gasification project conceptualization, design and
operation, and are also leaders in the use of the Fischer Tropsch technology
which converts Syngas to high value, ultra clean, diesel, and jet fuel; and their partner Raven Ridge Resources. RRR are experts
in operating and project managing coal seam and underground coal gasification
projects both in the US and internationally.
· PPC provided the detail engineering and knows the underground coal
gasification technologies
In addition to the work PPC has done for Energy Technology Partners, we will licence the technology
company for the use of its proprietary Fischer Tropsch gas to ultra clean
diesel technology.
United States Opportunity
A further benefit of the under gasification is the opportunity to acquire an advanced coal to liquids development opportunity in the US
that:
·
Has an ultimate potential production
capacity of 50,000 barrels per day;
·
Has already conducted a successful
pilot using the UCG and Fischer Tropsch technologies which to date has cost
US$100 million; and
·
Could be under construction within twelve
months and in production within approximately four years.
Further Information
The Underground Coal Gasification Process
Underground Coal Gasification is an
in-situ gasification
process carried out in non-mined coal seams using injection and production
wells drilled from the surface, which enables the coal to be converted into
product gas.
The process is flexible in operation and is capable of producing commercial quantities of gas to be used as a chemical feedstock or as fuel for power generation.
The technique can be applied to coal resources that are otherwise not economical to extract and also offers an alternative to conventional coal mining methods for some resources.
UCG has the advantage over traditional coal mining and gasification methods in minimising environmental and social harm. The technology could be used to ensure that coal remains a part of the global energy mix by providing solutions to reduce and abate greenhouse gas emissions from burning coal.
