Coal Water Fuels: Production process modifications; their impact on fuel specifications
Coal Water Fuels (CWF) have a tremendous potential in the US Energy market. There is an ''oil glut'' and cheap oil is readily available at least in the near term future. Thus, whether future oil shortages and concomitant price escalations for oil are ''just-around-the-corner'' or off in the 21st Century, is a matter for great current debate. The recent indications of price collapse further fuel this debate. Unfortunately, it is only in the future that the correct answer will become apparent. Prudence dictates, however, that survival for a CWF supplier in early 1986, must be predicated on flexibility. It is clear that the most flexible technology and most adaptive supplier network will have the best chance to become successful in the currently difficult CWF market. The Carbogel organization enjoys tremendous flexibility in approach to CWF development and production. Further, the Carbogel technology development program, from its inception, has stressed flexibility and adaptability to different requirements.
