Successful laboratory study of Solvent Refined Coal, both solid (SRC I) and liquid fuel oil (SRC II), led into full-scale utility boiler tests with the intent of demonstrating the suitability of solvent refined coal as a potential utility boiler fuel. In general, no major operational problems or adverse boiler performance effects were encountered due to the combustion of SRC. No equipment problems were experienced with either Babcock and Wilcox's Type E pulverizers or water-cooled dual register burners during the SRC I combustion tests. Some differences were noted between coal and SRC I with respect to the combustion efficiency and heat absorption patterns within the boiler. Both SO/sub 2/ and NOx emissions were within EPA limits.
