CONT

Par la gazéification à l'oxygène on obtient un gaz qui ne contient pas d'azote (ce qui n'est pas le cas pour la gazéification à l'air), ce qui le rend plus apte pour la synthèse du méthanol.

CONT

La controverse principale, à propos des cycles avec gazéification à l'air ou à l'oxygène, est de savoir si les turbines à gaz modernes peuvent être équipées de chambres de combustion acceptant une alimentation en gaz à bas pouvoir calorifique.
