Gasification Technology

 
  November 01, 2007  
     
 
The Center for Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ
February 25-26, 2008


Who Should Attend
This course is directed toward technical personnel who are interested in gaining a broad understanding of gasification technologies and issues. It should be of interest and value to
  • Personnel who are, or will be, involved in evaluating projects, developing novel processes, or technology planning, which utilize gasification
  • Personnel in industrial segments, such as power generation, petroleum refining, ammonia or methanol production, chemical intermediates using syngas or production of clean transportation fuels
  • Personnel responsible for, or designing means of disposing of, municipal solid wastes, residue from petroleum refining or coal benefaction and other chemical and biological wastes
  • Technical personnel in financial institutions responsible for due diligence studies

Description
This course will provide an overview of the diverse nature of gasification-based processes, depending on the feedstocks used, products made and the environmental issues. It will address process integration issues that are vital for economic viability.

The course is designed to complement and supplement material presented in gasification conferences. Fundamental chemistry and thermodynamics of partial oxidation of carbonaceous materials, gasification reactor design issues and heat recovery options will be covered in detail. Other down stream processing options will be surveyed.

 
 
Organized by: The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers: Dr. A.K.S. Murthy; Technology Fellow, The Linde Group

Dr. A.K.S. Murthy is a Technology Fellow at Linde Engineering in Murray Hill, New Jersey, responsible for technical development and technoeconomic assessment of novel technologies for the production and applications of industrial gases such as hydrogen, syngas and oxygen. He also supports business development around the world in the oil, gas and chemical market sectors. His prior experience includes managing process engineering at Jacobs Engineering in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and various technical and management positions in Honeywell in Morristown, New Jersey. As a consultant to petroleum, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, he has provided expertise in the areas of Reactor Design, distillation and “Process Scale-up”. He brings to the course a broad understanding of the technical and commercial issues associated with gasification, gas purification and syngas applications, gained over forty years in the chemical and refining industries. In particular, his knowledge of competing technologies provides a balanced view of gasification.

Murthy (as he prefers to be called) holds a Sc.D degree in Chemical Engineering from the Columbia University in New York. He is a Professional Engineer, registered in New Jersey.

As an Adjunct Professor for over ten years, Murthy has taught graduate courses in Chemical Engineering at the Columbia University in New York and the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. He also directs courses on Hydrogenation, Nitration and Amination Technologies, offered by The Center for Professional Advancement. He holds fifteen patents and is the author of over thirty publications.
