Lurgi gasifier (high pressure gasifier) as compared to Kopper Totzek gasifier (atmospheric pressure gasifier) produces __________________?

Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.

  • A. Higher amount of methane
  • B. Lower amount of hydrogen
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Higher amount of both methane and hydrogen

Explanation

The high pressure in a Lurgi gasifier favours methanation, giving more CH₄, and generally produces less H₂ than the atmospheric-pressure Koppers-Totzek process. Both stated changes therefore occur.
