Preliminary Program subject to change
T6008 Advanced Gas Conversion and Gasification Processes
OverviewThe symposium will primarily deal with the recent advances in production of syngas from natural gas, as the first step to add value to the resources. Papers related to gasification processes for refinery use of petroleum coke, heavy oil, oil sands bitumen, kerogen from shale oil and other hydrocarbons for making hydrogen, fuel components, or fuels are appropriate for this session.
