A high-pressure process development unit (PDU) was constructed by the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) to develop a data base for the fluidized-bed gasification of different coals at elevated pressures. It has been operated with different ranks of coal at pressures up to 450 psig and at temperatures dictated by gasification requirements of the individual coals. Sufficient data have been obtained from this PDU to characterize the effect of pressure on the gasification of Montana Rosebud subbituminous coal and North Dakota lignite. The results obtained with North Dakota lignite are presented here. This program was funded by the Gas Research Institute. 8 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
