Demonstration Operations at the Direct Liquefaction Proof-Of-Concept Facility at the HIM Research and Development Center in Lawrenceville, N.J. are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Hydrocarbon Research Inc. and the Kerr-McGee Corporation. The facility is operated and managed by Hydrocarbon Research Inc. The Proof of Concept Facility consists of several distinct process units, a Coal Handling System, a Slurry Preparation-Pumping-Preheating System, Two Ebullated-Bed Reactors in Series, an On-Line Hydrotreater, Separation and Pressure Let-Down System, Scrubbing and Oil-Water Separation, Flash Vessels and Atmospheric and Vacuum Distillation Equipment, a Rose-SR{trademark} and U.S. Filter Solid Liquid Separation Systems and Product Storage. The POC Process Development Unit (PDU) processes about 3 tons a day of coal producing about 15 barrels per day of clean distillate liquid product and can operate with or without solids containing recycle solvent. The Rose-SR unit and On-Line Hydrotreater were added along with other improvements to the equipment and control systems prior to the CTSL{trademark} Process Scale-Up with Illinois No.6 Bituminous Coal.
