Advanced development of a pressurized ash agglomerating fluidized-bed coal-gasification system. Fourteenth monthly progress report, March 1983

Technical Report · Wed Apr 20 04:00:00 EST 1983

OSTI ID:5587911

Accomplishments for March are presented in the following areas: process development unit (PDU) test operations and results; process and component engineering and design; cold flow scaleup facility (CFSF); laboratory support studies. Some of the highlights are: all major modifications in preparation for PDU test TP-034-1 were completed and testing was initiated using Wyoming coal as the feedstock; in preparation for test TP-034-1, design and construction orders were completed for SID blowdown system, pressure tap reorientation, K-ray level control relocation, and cyclone refractory recast; TP-M009-1, a test to measure bubble frequency and solid circulation flux, was completed; laboratory studies continued in the areas of gas-solids flow modeling and coal-ash behavior.
