Activities involved extensive repairs and maintenance in the front-end of the plant, primarily seal repairs. Hydrotreating area maintenance activities were extended by two weeks in order to modify the piping around the bottom of both reactors so that the bottom head seal rings could be replaced. The severe cold and record snowfall further extended the turnaround by two days. Integrated plant operations are now scheduled to start the week of March 6, 1978. Restart of the extraction end of the plant will include a capacity test of the slurry preheater and a checkout of front-end flow instruments. The main objectives of Run 005 are to demonstrate the operability of the plant at a coal rate of 12 tpd in a 25% coal slurry and to obtain baseline process data from the solvent deashing test system.
