The coal properties were determined by detailed analysis in Turkish Coal Enterprises. The calculations and the analysis were carried out assuming the kinetic equilibrium model for asification. The higher heating value of the synthesis as produced was calculated for the evaluation of performance of the process. The effects of steam rate of water as shift reactor. bypass ratio and coal composition on synthesis as produced were analyzed. Moreover, integration of the gasifier with water-as shift reactor was also investigated to obtain the desired H 2/CO ratio using different coals. The model developed in this work can be used for choosing the proper set of operating parameters to produce the synthesis as with the desired composition suitable for the purpose of its end use
