Progress reports are presented for the following tasks: process development units (PDU) test operations and results; process and component engineering and design; cold flow scaleup facility (CFSF); laboratory support studies. Some of the accomplishments are: scheduled activities for the annual PDU maintenance program were completed for the mid-March PDU startup; modifications to the PDU continued, and with the exception of the high-speed centrifugal pump, will be completed before startup; modifications required to upgrade the PDU for improved operation included addition of a blowdown system for Solids Injection Device (SID), change in the orientation of the nozzles for pressure taps, and relocation of the K-ray for level control; CFSF test data for the pneumatic transport test FR-002 has been completed; laboratory studies continued in the areas of gas-solids flow-modeling and coal/ash behavior.
