Title: Packing design and materials for coal liquefaction slurry feed pumps. Interim Technical Report No. 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5443338

Seven packing vendors responded to MTI's solicitation and provided packing designs and materials for coal liquefaction slurry feed pumps at the existing pilot plants. The pilot plants include EDS at Baytown, Texas, H-Coal at Catlettsburg, Kentucky, and SRC-I at Wilsonville, Alabama. Two basic types of packing designs were proposed by the vendors. The first type is the compression or jam type of pre-molded or cut-fit packing design. The options include up to eight rings of either identical or a combination of soft and hard packing material with or without end adapters. The second type of design proposed to the program is a chevron shaped and spring loaded type of pre-molded packing. The options include two to four rings of homogeneous and/or composite packing material with end adapters or spacers.
