Advanced coal gasification system for electric power generation. Quarterly progress report, January 1-March 31, 1979
Additional testing of the gasifier-agglomerator reactor included direct coal feed as well as oxygen-blown gasification of a char or coal bed. These tests will be followed by evaluation of the integrated system consisting of the devolatilizer and gasifier-agglomerator. Present work involves the modification and upgrading of the PDU to provide for integration of the two reactors as well as to modify the hardware to achieve better performance as dictated by the results of prior testing efforts. Support work on fuel processing was conducted to investigate operating conditions for the PDU test program, provide troubleshooting capability for PDU operation, obtain data for PDU modifications, analyze and interpret results from PDU opeation, develop process models for scale-up, and understand process phenomena to achieve reliable operation. Work was conducted in the areas of cold flow and analytical modeling, coal behavior, coal and ash chemical phenomena, environmental impact, and process and systems cengineering consultation.
