Shell Gasification Technology Licensed to Vinachem

Oil major, Shell has licensed its coal gasification to produce syngas to Vietnam National Chemical Group (Vinachem). The syngas produced for the coal gasification will be used for the Binh Fertilizer Petrochemical Plant to produce ammonia for urea production which utilizes 1300 tonnes/day of coal.

Coal gasification or sometimes known as partial oxidation, converts carbon-containing fuel sources which in this case, coal, into syngas at high temperatures. The Shell technology is a clean way of transforming coal into syngas for use in the manufacture of fertilizer, chemicals and power generation.
