SUMMARY
tional steam inj ection to the syngas is not required for the shift
converters. The syngas from a quench gasi?er is considered a
shift conversion ready syngas, and this makes the process
more carbon capture ready than that of other processes.

FIELD OF INVENTION
plants.
In a coal gasi?cation plant equipped With syngas cooler,
about 20-25 percent of energy in coal is consumed during the
exothermic gasi?cation reaction, and it is partially recovered
in the form of high pressure steam at about 1800 psig. Imple
menting a full thermal integration betWeen a gasi?cation
plant and a combined cycle plant to refuel an existing GTCC
plant is generally not practical due to tWo reasons: 1) rela
tively high costs of full recovery coal gasi?cation plant
equipped With syngas cooler, and 2) the existing steam tur
bine and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) are unlikely
