Coal-gasification environmental data summary: low- and medium-Btu wastewaters. Final report, September 1984-December 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5625970

The report is a compilation of environmental characterization data for wastewaters from low- and medium-Btu coal-gasification facilities. Fixed-bed, entrained-bed, and ash-agglomerating fluidized-bed coal-gasification processes were examined. The fixed-bed gasifiers are the Chapman, Wellman-Galusha, Riley, Foster Wheeler/STOIC, and Lurgi-type processes. The entrained-bed gasifiers are the Koppers-Totzek and Texaco processes. The KRW-PDU was used as an example of an ash-agglomerating fludized-bed process. The types of wastewaters examined from the various coal-gasification processes are product gas-quench condensates, cyclone dust-quench waters, ash-pan waters, gas compression and cooling condensates, acid-gas-removal waters, and leachates from slag and ash-disposal facilities. The available wastewater quality and quantity data for these aqueous waste streams are assembled, and the associated environmental significance is addressed.
