Gasification of Simplex briquets: demonstration in the General Electric high pressure gasifier. Volume 2. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5353983

This report describes the procurement, production and gasification of briquets made from highly-caking coal and refuse-derived fuel in a high-pressure modified Lurgi-type gasifier. Volume II details the gasification of 3:2, 2:1 and straight coal briquets in General Electric's high-pressure gasifier. This volume includes test summaries, heat and mass balances and a description of the chemical clean-up process. The study showed that all briquet feedstocks tested produced acceptable gas with higher heat value ranges of 135-170 Btu/scf for the Simplex briquets and 150-180 Btu/scf for the coal-coal tar briquets. Acceptable material flow within the gasifier, without the use of stirring, was demonstrated for both the Simplex briquets and for the coal-coal tar briquets.
