Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial gasification process, which is carried out in nonmined coal seams. It involves injection of a gaseous oxidizing agent, usually oxygen or air, and bringing the resulting product gas to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface.
This paper represents the results of experimental studies of physical modeling of the underground coal gasification process in terms of implementation of design and technological solutions aimed at intensification of a gasification process of thin coal seams. A series of experimental studies were performed in terms of a stand unit with the provided criteria of similarity to field conditions as ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of converting hydrocarbon materials into synthesis gas insitu. ... Based on these selections, the mathematical models of the UCG process can be divided into classes: process models, coal block models, coal wall models, packed bed models, channel models, computational fluid dynamic models ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is the process of converting hydrocarbon materials into synthesis gas insitu. Underground coal gasification is sometimes referred to as insitu coal gasification (ISCG). The process has been developed over more than a century, though only a few projects currently operate on a continuous basis.
Coal gasification is a promising option for the future use of coal. Similarly to gasification in industrial reactors, underground coal gasification (UCG) produces syngas, which can be used for power generation or for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and other valuable chemical products. As compared with conventional mining and surface gasification, UCG promises lower capital ...
The coal is converted into syngas during the underground coal gasification process in the coal seam (, in situ). The gas is produced and extracted by a well drilled into the gasified coal seam. The injection well is used to inject oxidants,, air, oxygen, vapor, or their mixture. The injection well also serves to ignite the coal seam at ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a clean coal mining technology without significant environmental impacts. This technology can also be used in deep, hardtoreach seams or deposits affected ...
With underground coal gasification (UCG), the actual process takes place underground, generally below 1,200 feet. The underground setting provides both the feedstock source as well as pressures comparable to that in an aboveground gasifier. With most UCG facilities, two wells are drilled on either side of an underground coal seam.
The Controlled Retracting Injection Point (CRIP) process for underground coal gasification (UCG) was successfully demonstrated during the Rocky Mountain I (RM I) field test conducted in the winter of 198788 near Hanna, Wyoming. The basic features for the CRIP process are its ability to maintain oxidant injection low in the coal seam by ...
By igniting in the coal seam and injecting gas agent, underground coal gasification (UCG) causes coal to undergo thermochemical reactions in situ and, thus, to be gasified into syngas for power generation, hydrogen production, and storage. Compared with traditional mining technology, UCG has the potential sustainable advantages in energy, environment, and the economy. The paper reviewed the ...
Geological Model of the Gasifier. The gasifier mainly consists of two parts: a coal seam and the surrounding rock. The temperature distribution in the gasifier, the nonuniformity and instability of the gasification reaction, and the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the surrounding rock determine that the geological model of the gasifier must be threedimensional rather than simply two ...
The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) process is a complex and multiphysics phenomenon, thus making it difficult to develop a mathematical model that encapsulates all dynamical aspects. In this regard, datadriven modeling techniques offer a reliable alternative for prediction, control, and optimization of dynamical systems, but their ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) has been identified as an environmentally friendly technique for gasification of deep unmineable coal seams in situ. This technology has the potential to be a clean and promising energy provider from coal seams with minimal greenhouse gas emission. The UCG eliminates the presence of coal miners underground hence, it is believed to be a much safer technique ...
In the underground coal gasification (UCG) process, a feasible method for the redn. of CO2 emissions is to capture the CO2 present in syngas and reinject it as one of the gasification agents, which is called CO2 recycling. In this process, CO2 partially replaces steam as a gasification agent, which is of particular importance in areas lacking ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) hydrogen production (UCGH 2) can convert deep coal resources difficult to mine into hydrogen, its economic performance needs to be investigated so the application prospect can be paper take hydrogen production with capacity of billion Nm 3 /a as objective, based on simulation results, comparative technoeconomic analysis was conducted ...
The underground link,, the gasification channel between the two wells, needs to be established in the target coal seam because the underground primitive conditions, surrounding rock characteristics, and coal properties cannot readily provide a porous gasification channel for the gas flow and ensure the continuation of the gasification process.
At the same time, it provides a reference for underground coal gasification combined with CCUS technology. Schematic of UCG process with gas cleaning unit. (A) Schematic of the CRIP process.

The process of underground coal gasification (UCG) is considered to be one of the forms of clean coal technologies for obtaining gaseous fuel and synthesis gas from hard coal (Burton et al. 2006; Bhutto et al. 2013; Cough 2009).In the situation of increasingly smaller coal resources available for economically justified mining and the unfavorable impact of coal combustion on the environment ...
8. Application to underground coal gasification (UCG) UCG, a clean coal technology, is widely understood as a disruptive mining method that is efficient and environmentally benign. This method extracts deep and stranded coal by performing complex gasification reactions insitu within the coal seam.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a gasification process used to produce gas from coal in situ by injecting air or oxygen into nonmined coal seams and extracting the product gas via surface wells. The resulting synthetic gas ("syngas") can be used to produce electricity, as well as chemicals, liquid fuels, hydrogen and synthetic natural gas.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is just an industrialised gasification process that takes place in coal seams that haven't been mined. It entails injecting a gaseous oxidising agent, often oxygen or air, and transporting the resultant product gas to the surface via production gas wells drilled from the surface.
