Ruhrchemie/Ruhrkohle variant of the Texaco coal gasification process - a status report. In pilot operation since January 1978, the Ruhrkohle/Ruhrchemie variant of the Texaco coal gasification process has produced a total of 20 million mN3 of synthesis gas having an average composition of 46% CO, 34% H2, 19% CO2, 0.3% H2S, 0.6% N2, and 0.1% CH4 from ca. 12 000 tonnes of coal. As the first of the „second generation“ coal gasification processes, the Texaco process has proved itself capable of gasifying pulverized coal of all grades at high temperatures and pressures. The next goal is an increase in capacity from that of the demonstration plant at Oberhausen-Holten (12 000 mN3/h) to ca. 100 000 mN3/h.
