Lurgi Gasifier

The Lurgi Gasifier is a type of industrial oven used to turn solid carbon-based materials, like coal or biomass, into a combustible gas. It operates by heating these materials in a controlled environment with limited oxygen, causing them to break down into a mixture of gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This synthetic gas, called syngas, can then be used to generate electricity, produce chemicals, or fuel. The Lurgi Gasifier is known for its efficiency and ability to process various feedstocks, making it a key technology in clean energy and chemical production industries.
