Fifth annual EPRI contractors' conference on coal gasification: proceedings
The Fifth Annual EPRI Contractors' Conference on Coal Gasification was held in Palo Alto October 30 and 31, 1985. Papers were presented in four general areas: utility engineering economic studies; pilot and demonstration plant results; raw-gas cleanup; and environmental and engineering scoping studies. Substantial progress in the commercial implementation of coal gasification occurred during 1984. The 100-MW Texaco integrated-gasification-combined-cycle (IGCC) plant at Southern California Edison's Cool Water site continued to operate extremely well in 1985 following the successful startup in June 1984 (EPRI report AP-4177, the fourth conference proceedings). An average capacity factor of 50% was achieved in 1985. There was also considerable progress in 1985 on commercial coal gasification projects outside the utility industry. The Great Plains Associates 125 M-scfd substitute natural gas plant in Beulah, North Dakota (based on Lurgi dry ash technology) achieved a high operational capacity factor. The plant was taken over by DOE and is continuing to operate well. Nineteen papers have been entered individually into ERA and EDB. (LTN)
