Abstract: In this paper, due to the convenience of the THERMOFLEX platform in thermal and IGCC power plant simulations, the models are built on the platform for several types of gasifiers including the Shell, Texaco, E-Gas and U-Gas ones. Based on the measured industrial data, the gasification conditions are set for simulation. Through the comparison between the composition of the synthetic gases and the industrial data, the simulation results of the gasifers are validated one by one. Then, the simulative study on six gasification technologies is carried out using the same designed coal. The study conducts the comparison of the main gasification indices between the technologies and analyzes their pros and cons when being applied in the IGCC system. The study results lay a foundation for the optimization of IGCC systems.
