Environmental, health, and safety assessments for direct coal liquefaction. Volume 13. H-coal and EDS liquefaction processes
- ed.
An assessment has been made of the published information on the H-Coal and the EDS coal liquefaction processes. The assessment reviews the information generated as a result of operating test facilities (pilot plants and process design units) based on the two technologies. The assessment focuses on the environmental, health, and safety (EH and S) aspects of each of the technologies and covers the following broad areas: process designs of commercial versions of the two processes, physical and chemical characterizations of various products and effluent streams from the test facilities, occupational and public health impact studies performed in conjunction with the pilot plant operations, and ecotoxicity studies performed to study the potential environmental impact of releases of the plant products and wastes to the environment. The EH and S-related lessons learned from the operations of the test facilities and the remaining research and development (R and D) needs for the two processes are detailed in the assessment. The assessment leads to the overall conclusion that although there are gaps in the EH and S data base, sufficient information has been developed so that commercial-scale plants based on the above two processes will not adversely affect the environment. 246 refs., 24 figs., 98 tabs.
