Guidebook for the use of synfuels in electric utility combustion systems. Volume 2. Coal-derived gases. Final report. [Petroleum fuels or natural gas to coal-derived fuel gas]
A guidebook has been structured to assist utilities in addressing the technical issues associated with conversion of boilers, gas turbines, and diesel engines from conventional petroleum fuels, or natural gas, to coal-derived gas. To the extent possible, the information contained in this guidebook is drawn from direct utility or industrial experience with coal-derived gases. This includes one high-pressure (10 atm) electric utility boiler which operated for more than 10,000 hours on coal-derived gas in West Germany and a demonstration (Dow Chemical in Plaquemine, LA) in which a gas turbine-driven electrical generator has been run on low- and medium-Btu gas from a coal gasifier. No direct experience with coal-derived gas firing in a diesel engine is currently available. The topics covered in the guidebook include the storage and handling, fuel supply and combustion systems, emissions, and health and safety considerations. 71 references.
