In late 1980 Ruhrchemie AG and Ruhrkohle AG performed test runs on two US coals - scheduled for the Cool Water project - in their 150 tpd Texaco coal gasification demonstration plant operating at Oberhausen. West Germany. Both runs - with Illinois No. 6 and a Utah coal - were highly successful and proved the excellent design and the commercial readiness of the Texaco coal gasification process as well as the suitability of the feedstocks to be employed in the Cool Water plant. This paper deals in particular with the test run on Utah coal. This coal proved to be highly reactive. Thus, high conversions and efficiencies, satisfactory coal and oxygen consumption figures as well as a favourable performance of the reactor lining were attained at moderate reactor temperatures. In a comprehensive environmental characterization performed on all major process streams the process proved to be clean and well within current environmental regulations.
