A totl of 23 tons of L-60 coke breeze was processed during test TP-020-1 in 67 hours of hot operation. In test TP-020-2, Pittsburgh seam coal was fed directly to both the devolatilizer and the gasifier. A total of 190 hours of hot fluidized bed operation was accumulated on the gasifier, while the devolatilizer operated hot for 145 hours. Following integrated operation, mechanical modifications for oxygen-blown gasifier testing and startup activities for test TP-022 were completed. An acceptable leak rate was achieved on June 18, followed by an extended hot air heatup period to cure the new refractory in the C-119 cyclone. Test TP-022, the first of a series of three oxygen-blown gasifier tests designed to evaluate operability with various coals, determine optimum operating conditions, and expand the data base in general, was initiated and the results will be reported at a later date. In addition to general maintenance and service work, planned modifications were performed in support of integrated testing. The computer program for the heat and material balances around the gasifier-devolatilizer was revised for integrated operation, design specifications were prepared for mist eliminators in the gas outlets of the C-113 and C-122 cooling towers, the total condensables analyzer is being redesigned, and a scale-up design data base is being compiled.
