Gasification of simplex briquets: briquet production. Volume 1. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5353986

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 I provides a detailed description of briquet formulation, the components used for briquet production and production line operating experience. 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.
