Three-year project on commercial-scale gasifiers: ORNL

In Tennessee, researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory are concluding a three-year project using supercomputers at Oak Ridge and Argonne national laboratories for simulations to reduce the cost and time of building commercial-scale gasifiers. “High-performance computing is allowing us to reveal and study features of the gas-solids flow in a gasifier to a degree never before possible, experimentally or computationally,” said Madhava Syamlal, principal investigator of the project.
