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 processes, depending on the feedstocks used, products made and the environmental issues. It will also address process integration and cogeneration 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.

A.K.S. Murthy, PhD, PE; Chemical & Refining Process Consultant
Dr. A.K.S. Murthy is a consultant to the Chemical, Oil & Gas and Pharmaceutical industries, providing expertise in Process Engineering. He has a strong background in analyzing, designing and scaling up chemical reactor systems and has successfully used it to optimize existing reactors and for process development from lab-scale to commercial operation. He has also developed custom thermodynamic correlations for designing and optimizing complex distillation columns. Prior becoming an independent consultant, he was with the Linde Group in Murray Hill, New Jersey, responsible for business development around the world in the oil & gas and chemical market sectors and for providing leadership for industrial gas application R&D for those industries. 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. His gasification experience consists of managing direct and indirect liquefaction of coal programs at Honeywell, and preparing a detailed assessment of the gasification processes for forming strategic alliances or for using them for hydrogen and carbon monoxide production by Linde.
Murthy (as he prefers to be called) holds a doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering from the Columbia University in New York. He is a Professional Engineer, licensed in New Jersey. He is also the Course Director for courses on Hydrogenation, Nitration and Amination Technologies and Gas Fluidization, offered by The Center for Professional Advancement. He holds fifteen patents and is the author of over thirty publications.
