Exxon Catalytic Coal-Gasification-Process Development Program. Final project report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5633746
The Exxon Catalytic Coal Gasification (CCG) Development Program began in July 1978 and was completed in March of 1981. The program was a coordinated effort involving bench scale R and D, operation of a one ton-per-day Process Development Unit (PDU), and engineering support. The PDU was being operated with bituminous Illinois No. 6 coal catalyzed with potassium hydroxide. This work was aimed at advancing the catalytic coal gasification technology through the development stage to make it ready for further scaleup in a large pilot plant. This report covers the activities for the Exxon Catalytic Coal Gasificaton Development Program during the perod July 1978 through March 1981. This work was performed by the Exxon Research and Engineering Company (ER and E) and was supported by the United States Department of Energy and by the Gas Research Institute. Contents of this report include: (1) bench scale research and development, (2) process development unit operations; (3) data acquisition and correlations; (4) advanced study of the Exxon catalytic coal gasification process; (5) engineering research and development; (6) appendix PDU yield period data.
