Abstract

The objectives of this project were to (1) gain experience with Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) Illinois No. 6 coal liquefaction residue in the 15-t/d Montebello gasifier and (2) identify satisfactory operating conditions for the 200-t/d TVA gasifier. Conclusions are as follows: (1) EDS residue in water slurry form is an excellent feedstock for the Texaco Coal Gasification Process. The optimum operation in the MRL pilot plant was achieved at an oxygen-to-residue feed ratio of about 0.87 lb/lb. Operating at this ratio resulted in a high carbon conversion and the production of 28 SCF of CO+H/sub 2/ per pound of residue feed. (2) EDS residue will make an excellent feed stock for the coal gasification demonstration plant at TVA. Based upon the work described in this report, recommendations for the TVA TCGP demonstration plant test run on this feedstock have been developed and provided to the appropriate parties. 6 figures, 8 tables.

Type I evaluation of Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) liquefaction process residue from Texas lignite as a feedstock for the Texaco Gasification Process

Technical Report Wu, C; Robin, A

A laboratory evaluation of a 20-pound sample of vacuum tower bottoms from the Exxon Donor solvent (EDS) liquefaction process was completed at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory. The sample was obtained during the liquefaction of Texas lignite from the Martin Lake mine at the EDS liquefaction process pilot plant in Baytown, Texas. The residue is judged to be suitable feedstock for the Texaco Gasification Process charged as an aqueous slurry of pulverized solid at ambient temperature. Feeding the residue as a molten fluid would require that it be stored and fed to the gasifier at temperatures in excess of 600/sup 0/F.more »« less
Gasification of residual materials from coal liquefaction. Type II preliminary pilot plant evaluation of vacuum tower bottoms from the Exxon Donor Solvent Coal Liquefaction Process

Technical Report Robin, A.

About 2 1/4 tons of vacuum tower bottoms from the Exxon Donor Solvent Process from the liquefaction of Illinois No. 6 coal were successfully gasified in a 1/2 ton per hour pilot plant at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory. The single five hour run was completed at 24 atmospheres pressure. A 99 percent conversion of the carbon in the feed to syngas was achieved yielding 37.1 SCF of dry syngas per pound of residue charged. The dry syngas contained about 90 (vol) percent carbon monoxide plus hydrogen. The melt point range and viscosity of the residue were so high that itmore »« less

Type II preliminary pilot plant evaluation of a coal liquefaction residue-water slurry using vacuum tower bottoms from the Exxon donor solvent coal liquefaction process

Technical Report Colpitts, S; Robin, A

About 16 tons of vacuum tower bottoms (residue) from the Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) Process from the liquefaction of Illinois No. 6 coal were successfully gasified at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory. The EDS residue was ground, slurried with water, and fed at ambient temperatures to the gasifier. The gasifier operated smoothly at 1000 psig for almost 17 hours. It was manually shut down after all of the slurry charge had been gasified. A 99.9 percent conversion of the carbon in the feed to syngas was achieved yielding 36.0 SCF of dry syngas per pound of residue charged. The oxygen requirementmore »« less
Gasification of residual materials from coal liquefaction: Type-III extended pilot-plant evaluation of a molten Exxon donor solvent (EDS) liquefaction process residue from Illinois No. 6 coal

Technical Report Robin, A; Yang, H

A Type III Extended Pilot Plant Evaluation of Exxon EDS Vacuum Residue, which was obtained from the liquefaction of Illinois No. 6 coal at the Exxon Baytown Texas coal liquefaction pilot plant, was successfully completed at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory. A total of forty-four tons of EDS residue was gasified during five runs which were carried out at 1200 psig in the Texaco pilot plant residue gasifier. The solvent dilution levels, the steam-to-residue ratio and the oxygen-to-residue ratio were varied to determine optimum operating conditions. A total of 97 hours of on-stream time was accumulated.

Gasification of residual materials from coal liquefaction. Final report

Technical Report Child, C; Robin, A

During the years 1977 through 1984, laboratory and pilot plant evaluations were made at Texaco's Montebello Research Laboratory to determine the suitability of various residual materials from DOE sponsored coal liquefaction projects as feedstocks for the Texaco Gasification Process. Fourteen laboratory evaluations, eight preliminary pilot plant evaluations, four extended pilot plant evaluations and one sustained pilot plant evaluation were completed with coal liquefaction residues from seven different processes. Operating pressures from 350 psig to 1200 psig were demonstrated. Most of the residues may be fed to a Texaco gasifier either as a molten fluid or as a slurry of groundmore »« less
