What Is a Manufactured Gas Plant?

Gases produced from solid fuels such as coal and coke or liquid fuels such as heavy oil through processes such as carbonization, vaporization, or cracking are collectively referred to as artificial coal gas. According to the production method, it can be generally divided into dry distillation gas and vaporized gas (generator gas, water gas, semi-water gas, etc.). The main components of artificial gas are flammable gases such as alkanes, olefins, aromatics, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and contain a small amount of non-flammable gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Artificial gas

By coal,

Artificial gas is a flammable gas made from coal or heavy oil as the main raw material. According to the different production methods, it can be divided into the following three types:

1. Natural gas is an efficient energy source, with a calorific value that is twice that of artificial gas, and is widely used.

2. Natural gas is a clean and environmentally friendly

In the family

If gas poisoning occurs in the family, the main measures are :

(1) Open the doors and windows immediately, move the patient to a place with good ventilation and fresh air, and keep warm. Find out the cause of gas leakage and eliminate hidden dangers.

(2) Unfasten the clothes, keep the airway unobstructed, and clear the mouth and nose secretions. If sudden respiratory arrest is found, immediately perform mouth to mouth artificial respiration and make

Persist in the morning in the park or on the balcony for deep breathing exercises and chest expansion exercises,

Due to the different production methods and recovery methods of raw materials for gas production and gas production, the components and percentages of various types of gas are different. Commonly there are coke oven gas, generator furnace gas, continuous vertical carbonization furnace gas, blast furnace gas, ferroalloy furnace gas, etc. The gas composition is slightly different.
