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.
