Two tests were conducted during January. Test 68 was terminated after 20 hours of char feed to the reactor due to a leak in a reactor manway. Test 69 was started after conducting a turnaround. Stable conditions were established in the reactor at a char feed rate exceeding 2 tons/hr, when a liquid nitrogen shortage, caused by a severe winter storm, forced us to terminate the test. Further information was supplied to Procon, Inc., to aid its staff in their design of a commercial/demonstration HYGAS plant. Additional test work was done on the lift-pot, lift-line feeder device. Results of a preliminary engineering study on the design of a hot-liquid quench system for the HYGAS plant are presented.
