E-Gas Petcoke Gasification

Newly acquired gasification technology enables the production of clean synthesis gas, hydrogen, steam and electric power from petroleum coke.

STRATEGIC ADDITION

ConocoPhillips' July 2003 acquisition of proprietary E-Gas Technology is a strategic addition to the company's growing clean fuels portfolio.

PROVEN PROCESS

Proven process to convert petroleum coke into synthesis gas for power and steam generation hydrogen production. Over one million tons of petcoke from four different refineries has been processed.

CLEANEST

Recognized as the cleanest, most efficient process for petcoke utilization with 99% sulfur removal, low NOx, and near-zero particulate emissions. Minimal ash byproduct can be used as construction material.

HIGH THROUGHPUT

Process offers highest petcoke throughput of any gasifier at 2,700 tons per vessel per day.

UNIQUE DESIGN

Unique slurry-fed two-stage gasifier with heat recovery offers efficiency advantage at lower capital costs.

DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE

Over 15 years of commercial demonstration experience on coal and petcoke. Licenses available for power and refinery applications. ConocoPhillips is the world's #1 petcoke producer and also licenses coker technology.
