A post-run plant inspection was made after Test 64, which had been completed in late August and which was the most significant test to date with Peabody No. 10 Mine bituminous coal. The plant was in good condition after the run. Test 65 was conducted during September. An electrical power failure forced termination after only 9 tons of coal had been processed through the gasifier. This power failure was caused by an equipment malfunction in Commonwealth Edison's main power supply to the plant. Inspection procedures have been initiated to see that this does not reoccur. Engineering assistance is being provided to ERDA and Procon, Inc., in the design of a commercial/demonstration plant based on the HYGAS process.
