OSTI ID:5327331
The BI-GAS Pilot Plant is a grass-roots facility designed to convert up to 4535 kg/hr (5 tons/hr) of coal into high Btu pipeline-quality gas. A principal feature of the plant is a two-stage, entrained flow, high pressure, oxygen-blown, and ash slagging gasifier unit. The purpose of this study is to present (1) a description of the current status of each plant unit's operation, and (2) a description of the gasifier start-up and shutdown procedures.
