Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5497711

This report presents the results from Run 256 at the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R D Facility in Wilsonville, Alabama. This run operated in the Close-Coupled Integrated Two-Stage Liquefaction (CC-ITSL) catalytic-catalytic mode processing Ohio No. 6 coals. Test were conducted using Shell 324 catalyst (unimodal pore structure) and Shell 317 catalyst (bimodal pore structure). The effects of first stage reactor temperature, space velocity, recycle process solvent composition, and coal type were also investigated. Overall TSL process performance results are compared with the results from Run 254 in which Ohio No. 6 coal was used with Shell 317 catalyst. Run 256 began on 2 August 1988 and continued through 20 October 1988. 262 MF tons of Ohio No. 6 coals were fed in 1534 hours of operation. 24 figs., 15 tabs.
