Overall, it is evident that there are four major stages in the electricity production : burning of coal, producing purified syngas, operating turbines, and creating electricity.
In the first phase, oxygen is bumped from a factory into a furnace, combining with coal to create raw syngas and slag. After that, the slag remains there for other purposes while raw syngas will go through a removal process. In this step, raw syngas will undergo an extraction where purified syngas and co2 mercury sulfur are separated into two different products.
Moving on to the second phase, purified syngas is then put into a gas turbine and this substance will be burnt inside a generator machine in order to produce electricity. Considering another method to create electricity, purified gas inside the gas turbine will be moved to a heat recovery steam generator where a new substance, flue gas is born within the hot exhaust gas environment. Finally, flue gasses will evaporate into the steam turbine and it will be utilized through another generator to generate electricity.
