ThyssenKrupp Uhde and representatives of the Mongolian government recently signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) relating to the development, engineering, and construction of a heat recovery coke making plant and a coal-to-liquids plant.
 
Feasibility studies for the two projects had already been prepared at an earlier date. The heat recovery coke making plant study based on ThyssenKrupp Uhde's proprietary heat recovery coking technology was presented in December 2011.
 
At the same time as the MOU, ThyssenKrupp Uhde also signed a licensing agreement with the Ulan Bator-based company Industrial Corporation of Mongolia for use of ThyssenKrupp's proprietary PRENFLO® coal gasification technology.
 
"ThyssenKrupp Uhde is contributing proprietary technologies to both projects and will also be acting as general contractor," said Alfred Hoffmann, CTO and Member of ThyssenKrupp Uhde GmbH's Executive Board. Referring to the coal-to-liquids plant, he added: "This plant will enable us to offer the customer a holistic process solution from coal to synthetic fuel."
 
"Our PRENFLO solids gasifier forms the heart of the coal-to-liquids plant," said Claudio Marsico, Sales Director in the Gas Technologies division of ThyssenKrupp Uhde. "Its state-of-the-art design with multiple horizontally arranged burners, a cooled membrane wall with a long lifetime, dry dust feed for coal dust and maximum capacity per gasifier will contribute to the cost efficiency of the coal-to-liquids plant."
