1. Efficiency: The design of an industrial coal-to-gas facility must be aimed at achieving maximum efficiency in the conversion process while ensuring minimal waste generation.
2. Safety: Safety must be a top priority when designing coal-to-gas facilities due to the potentially hazardous nature of the materials used in the process. The facility must be designed to prevent accidents, leaks, and other safety hazards.
3. Reliability: Coal-to-gas facilities operate continuously and require a high level of reliability. The design must ensure maximum uptime and minimal downtime for maintenance.
4. Environmental impact: Coal-to-gas facilities have a significant impact on the environment, and designers must take this into account. The design must aim at minimizing the facility’s greenhouse gas emissions, and waste generation.
5. Scalability: Industrial coal-to-gas facilities need to be scalable, enabling an increase in production capacity over time. The design must, therefore, allow for easy expansion and modification without interrupting production.
6. Process control: Coal-to-gas conversion is a complex process that requires precise control to achieve optimal results. The facility's design must enable effective process monitoring, control, and automation.
7. Cost: The design of an industrial coal-to-gas facility must be cost-effective, taking into account the capital and operational costs. The design should aim at achieving maximum efficiency and minimizing waste generation while keeping operational and maintenance costs reasonable.
