This report describes the results of a test burn of approximately 5000 barrels of H-coal, 1200 barrels of EDS, and 1600 barrels of a mixture of the two coal-derived synthetic fuel oils, conducted at Con Edison's 74th St. Station Boiler No. 122, a tangentially-fired, Combustion-Engineering boiler, rated at 450,000 lbs./hr. steam at 1350 psig and 955 deg F. Baseline testing with No. 6 fuel oil was carried out for comparing boiler performance and flue-gas emissions with the synthetic fuels. The report documents emission measurements and boiler performance measurements, and discusses problems experienced in synthetic-fuel barge unloading and forwarding to the burners. The special industrial-hygiene program developed by plant personnel for handling coal-derived synthetic fuels is also documented.
