This paper describes the operational history and an overview of test results of a 6.5 foot diameter Wellman-Galusha gasifier at the Twin Cities Research Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Gasification tests of 16 different US coals to date have been undertaken with objectives such as: identifying gasifier capacity and conversion efficiencies; investigating influence of coal type on gasifier operation; characterizing gas quality for various operating conditions; identifying design changes that can reduce downtime and operational requirements; providing a source of low-BTU gas for processing and utilization studies; providing an opportunity for hands-on gasifier operation experience for cooperators and evaluating environmental impacts of low-BTU gasifiers.
