5 TRIG - Transport Integrated Gasification TRIG is a pressurized, partially-dried feed, dry ash (non-slagging) discharge and refractory lined gasification that operates under coal ash deformation temperature. TRIG is designed to process low quality, low cost, low heating value, low rank coal for syngas production. Economical Efficient Environmentally friendly Less water usage Reliable Transport operation mode Tolerant of large coal particle size, moisture level in fed coal Large single train capacity up to 5,000 TPD Flexibility with air-blown or O 2 -blown Proprietary dry feeding system without using feed injectors and continuous dry ash discharging system Dry syngas cleanup for particulate removal Good quality syngas 2014 KBR, Inc.
