Construction and operating of a demonstration plant with a capacity of 1,500 T/D of raw brown coal using the Winkler process at high temperature (1,000 deg. C) and under pressure (10 Bar). The subject of this new application is to increase productivity and to reduce the compression energy of the process of chemical synthesis down stream, and also to prove the higher availability necessary to justify a commercial plant, tests of the plants behaviour at varying loads and to perform some extended time tests. Operation on "Combined-cycle Power Plant" mode. Determination of the influences of the environment.L%

The HTW process is a gasification process based on the fluidized bed technology developed by Fritz Winkler in 1922. Gasification in the advanced HTW process takes place under pressure at a temperature of up to 1000 deg. C, with oxygen and steam as gasifying agents.
