  "text": "Technique\nDescription\nApplicability\na.\nAcid gas removal\nSulphur compounds from the feedstock of a gasification process are removed from the syngas via acid gas removal, e.g. including a COS (and HCN) hydrolysis reactor and the absorption of H2S using a solvent such as methyl diethanolamine. Sulphur is then recovered as either liquid or solid elemental sulphur (e.g. through a Claus unit), or as sulphuric acid, depending on market demands\nThe applicability may be limited in the case of biomass IGCC plants due to the very low sulphur content in biomass\nThe BAT-associated emission level (BAT-AEL) for SO2 emissions to air from IGCC plants of ≥ 100 MWth is 3–16 mg/Nm3, expressed as a yearly average.",
