This facility converts coal, petroleum coke and biomass into pipeline quality natural gas by utilizing an efficient catalytic process known as hydromethanation and is enabled for carbon dioxide capture and sequestration. The tour will explore the hydromethanation process and cutting-edge equipment from feedstock preparation to the hydromethanation, including post-methanation gas processing and CO2 seperation.
