The Integrated Plasma Gasification Combined Cycle (IPGCC) is a unique process that uses Solena’s patented Plasma Gasification Vitrification (PGV) technology for the conversion of low value fuels/feed stocks, such as coal waste, petroleum coke, bio-mass, and different waste forms (including MSW), into a low heating value synthesis or syngas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases. This gas is then employed as a primary fuel for a gas turbine. The IPGCC can also be viewed as a two-stage processor of an opportunity feedstock. The feedstock is first gasified (partial oxidation) in a gasifier using high-temperature plasma heating systems at atmospheric pressure. The gas is then cleaned and combusted (complete oxidation) in the gas turbine to produce electricity.
