Kellog activities during April to June 1981 included continued monitoring of activities at Bi-Gas, Westinghouse, Exxon and IGT (for peat gasification). Pilot plant/PDU tests which were monitored and reported include Bi-Gas tests G-16B, G-17, G-17A, G-17B, and G-17C; Westinghouse PDU test runs TP-029-1/030-1, TP-030-2 and TP-028-1 and CFSF tests TP-M002-1 and TP-M002-2; Exxon run period number 28; Peatgas pilot plant Test RF-1 and gasification Test number 1; and IGT single-stage peat gasification PDU Tests BF-13 through BF-20. Significant milestones were reached with the issue of draft reports for several tasks, including carbonyl formation, peat harvesting/dewatering, technical/economic assessments of Exxon, Westinghouse and PeatGas, technical/economic comparison of Westinghouse and U-Gas, gasifier design, safety audits, Hygas data base evaluation and the safety assurance study. In addition, final reports were issued for the Westinghouse oxygen blown gasifier risk analysis and for the PDU screening evaluations of Exxon, Westinghouse and Rockwell. Work on the Peatgas PDU data base evaluation continued, and a review of the Hygas final report was begun.
