The First Annual EPRI Contractors Conference on Coal Gasification was held in Palo Alto, California, on October 28 and 29, 1981. The purpose of this conference was to bring together an invited international audience from EPRI contractors, government laboratories and organizations, utility companies, industry, and academia to participate in a review of the results of the EPRI program. In the years 1979 through 1981, several comprehensive test-run programs were conducted under EPRI sponsorship with US coals on gasification pilot plants. A parallel series of projects examining the dynamic behavior and controllability of gasification-combined-cycle (GCC) systems and their component unit operations also has been conducted. In addition, several supportive research studies on the behavior of coal during the conversion (gasification) process, on materials, on instrumentation, etc., have been undertaken. This work has now reached a point where organizations developing this technology have embarked on major projects based on commercial-sized gasification reactors. Seventeen papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA. (LTN)
