In view of limited liquid fuels, in terms of crude oil reserves and to reduce the use of constantly and rapidly diminishing natural gas reserves, researchers are attracted towards Fisher Tropsch reaction. Aspen Plus® has become reliable, acquainted and recognized processes modeling software, extensively in practice for coal and biomass gasification processes. It contains different physical property packages that are useful for solid handling. Aspen Plus® model has been proposed to develop a better understanding of the process for geometric analysis of gasifier. This simulation presents an alternate technology for conventional coal gasification to improve the performance of process by varying geometry of gasifier. The Purpose of this study, is entirely focus on the production of synthesis gas from coal, through a process of indirect gasification and using only steam as the gasifying medium. The book serves as reference material for students, engineers and scientists working in the area of syngas production and coal gasification.
