Gasification / Syngas

Gasification / Syngas Solutions from Process Insights

As the demand for inexpensive alternative fuel sources continues to grow, gasification has emerged as a vital technology. By applying a partial-oxidation process, raw materials and by-products—such as coal, biomass, petroleum, or biofuels—are efficiently converted into syngas (synthesis gas).

This syngas can then be used across a wide range of applications, including:

  • Power generation and electricity production
  • Chemical and fertilizer manufacturing
  • Turbine fuel and renewable energy solutions

To maximize efficiency and ensure safe, reliable performance, real-time monitoring of every stage of gasification is critical. From identifying unwanted by-products to optimizing combustion, accurate analysis drives both performance and sustainability.

Trusted Gas Analysis for Over 25 Years

For more than two decades, EXTREL™ Quadrupole Industrial Process Mass Spectrometers from Process Insights have been the preferred solution for syngas producers in ammonia, methanol, ethanol, and hydrogen production.

  • The MAX300-RTG 2.0™ Quadrupole Industrial Process Gas Analyzer is Extrel’s seventh-generation system. It delivers rapid, precise analysis while cycling between gasification streams, including gasifier composition, sulfur removal, CO shift, CO₂ removal, and final product streams.
  • For laboratory or bench-scale studies of syngas reactions, the MAX300-LG™ Laboratory Gas Analyzer offers the same reliability in a compact package.

Key Benefits of MAX300 Gas Analyzers

Both the MAX300-RTG and MAX300-LG analyzers are designed for high-performance syngas analysis, offering:

  • Fast analysis — less than 7 seconds per stream
  • Advanced process insights — with Questor® 5 calculated values for heating values, conversion rates, and selectivities
  • Robust, serviceable design — with durable inlets, ionizers, and filament assemblies for long-term performance
  • Flexible integration — supporting Ethernet, Modbus RTU/TCP/IP, OPC, analog, digital, and custom communications

Both the EXTREL MAX300-LG and the MAX300-RTG Gas Analyzers provide:

  • Typical analysis time of less than 7 seconds per stream
  • The option of using Questor® 5 derived values to calculate and trend process parameters such as heating values, conversion rates and selectivity
  • Extrel’s robust designs for the inlet, ionizer and filament assembly allowing ease of service and replacement
  • Support for a variety of industry standard communications including Ethernet, Bi-directional Modbus RTU or TCP/IP, OPC, Analog and Digital outputs and custom communications
