Several coal-liquid mixture fuels have been evaluated in oil-designed boilers at the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC). A comprehensive coal-oil mixture combustion program was successfully completed in a 700-hp (6.87-MW) watertube boiler. Coal-water mixtures have been burned recently in a 100-hp (0.98-MW) firetube boiler and the 700-hp (6.87-MW) watertube boiler. Coal-methanol mixtures have also been burned in the 100-hp (0.98-MW) boiler. In this paper, the test facilities and equipment utilized are described, and the results of the coal-liquid mixture combustion tests are presented.
