This report presents the operating results for Run 254 at the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R D Facility in Wilsonville, Alabama. This run operated in the Close Coupled Integrated Two-Stage Liquefaction mode (CC-ITSL) using Ohio No. 6 bituminous coal with Shell 317 catalyst. Because this was the first run using Ohio No. 6 coal, it was considered a screening run. The primary test for this run wa the demonstration of unit and system operability with Ohio No. 6 coal as compared to similar operation with Illinois No. 6 coal. Evaluation of overall TSL yield structures with both low ash and high ash Ohio No. 6 coals with Shell 317 catalyst were evaluated. Other evaluations made in Run 254 included process solvent composition changes, multiple space velocity tests, second reactor temperature tests, and Amocat 1B catalyst ebullation tests. Run 254 began on 23 August 1987 and continued through 1 March 1988. During this period 491.6 MF tons of Ohio No. 6 coal were fed in 2625 hours of operation. 38 figs., 20 tabs.
