A detailed system has been designed to organize materials performance and design data for direct coal liquefaction plants. The LMD (Liquefaction Materials Databases) system currently consists of 14 databases; 12 contain demonstration plant design data for different components, and the remaining two contain laboratory and pilot plant/PDU data on corrosion coupons and equipment performance. These databases are interrelated and are interactively searched. Over 2200 records in these databases are interconnected by common attributes, including liquefaction project, functional area, and process fluid. Details on the types of information in these database are summarized. The databases can be queried through the flexible and powerful System 1022 Database Management System. Data can be easily viewed, sorted, changed, or listed as reports. For the infrequent user, a menu-driven interface to the system has been designed. No prior knowledge of System 1022 commands or query language is necessary for this system. 5 references.
