Monthly reports for September to December 1978, January to June 1978, and October 1979 have been combined in this report, along with two short topical reports. The monthly reports deal with information needed and being obtained for the demonstration plant designs in particular: filtration or deashing of coal liquids, material and heat balance, gasification of residues to generate hydrogen (Koppers-Totzek and Texaco considered), process control, equipment specifications, fluid mechanics in preheaters and dissolvers, etc. The first topical report considers that run-of-mine coal will contain more ash than prepared coal (17.0% vs 10.4%) and more water. The effects of the larger amount of ash are that, for a given product capacity, larger equipment will be required in all areas of the plant and especially in the filtration area (because of the higher feed rate of ROM coal and its layer of solids). In the second topical report, economic comparisons of several deashing processes for the demonstration plant were within 10% of each other in projected capital (100% US Filters produced SRC-1 at the lowest cost), but all required selling prices within 5% of each other; operating costs were also taken into the comparison as well as recovery efficiency and differences in feed rate to produce the same amount of product.
