Solvent-refined-coal (SRC) processs. Extended SRC-II operation on process development Unit P-99 feeding Pittsburgh seam (Ireland Mine) coal, runs P99-84 and P99-85. [Runs P99-84 and -85]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5353502
This report presents the results of two SRC-II runs (Runs P99-84 and P99-85) made on Process Development Unit P-99 feeding the fourth shipment of Ireland Mine coal. This work further exemplifies the high quality and consistency of data generated by PDU P-99. The main objective of this work was to demonstrate the inherent stability of the SRC-II Process by operating for an extended period at standard conditions. During this extended run (Run P99-85) no unaccounted for changes in process solvent composition or product yields occurred. This work also continued the investigation of the effect of the concentration of 550/sup 0/F- distillate in the feed slurry increased the yield of 380 to 550/sup 0/F distillate while correspondingly decreasing the yield of 550 to 900/sup 0/F distillate. This result is consistent with the conclusions of previous studies.
