This code provides uniform test methods and procedures for the determination of the performance of the syngas-conditioning block of an IGCC power plant, which is located between the gasification block and the power block.

This Code evaluates only thermal performance, not regulatory compliance or contaminant-removal effectiveness.

This Code applies to a variety of syngas-conditioning processes that are required for upgrading the raw syngas leaving the gasification block. It is assumed that the gas entering the conditioning block is essentially free of particulates, so particulate removal systems are not considered in this Code.
