This report is a compilation of the critical component operating experience at the H-Coal liquefaction pilot plant at Catlettsburg, Kentucky. Monthly, quarterly, and annual reports, as well as topical reports were reviewed for information concerning pumps, valves, instrument and controls, materials and heater and heat exchanger. In addition, information from minutes of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Management Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings and other special component performance meetings were studied. In addition to a component operational performance summaries, this report presents a history of significant operational events for each component which serves to trace component problems, proposed solutions and their effectiveness in time. It also serves as a locater of information that has appeared in the various pilot plant reports as well as provide as a fast overview of the history of each problem.
