4 ch to Technology Development and Continuous Tech Relevance Assessment Focused Technology Development Approach ared internal abilities with mer needs to ow focus on fication work Gasification process block-wise analysis to narrow down at clean-up process Developed a sy clean-up techn which works higher tempera Relevance today China unts for 85% of feedstock for China s methanol production. In actual terms, more than 3 billion tons consumed annually. South Africa ca is another promising country for coal to liquids. India shing for Methanol Economy using indigenous coal. United States and Europe urrent shale oil boom in the US and a focus on renewables in Europe, market need of the technolog ed significantly

5 ical Details of Warm-Gas Desulphurization Process (WDP) Role of WDP technology high removal of total Sulphur ( 99.9%) gas at temperatures as high as C WDP Process CLEAN SYNGAS S TO RE RTI Proprietary Desulfurization Sorbent Unique highly-dispersed nanostructures Developed in long-term cooperation with Clariant (~100 tons to date) Covered by extensive US & International patents, including several recent improvements Applications of WDP ble to both new as well as retrofit systems ive Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) en undertaken for WDP. ized TEA can be developed as per of the customer.
