Steam Gasification

Steam gasification usually refers to a gasification process that uses steam as the gasifying agent. Using this type of gasification method will provide more opportunity for water-gas shift reactions to occur, which may be an upgrade to the type of syngas produced from the fuel used in this process. Fluidization beds are usual applications for this type of process, although other types can be used.
