A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of gasifying EDS process residue at TVA's 200-TPD Ammonia-from-Coal Demonstration Plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama. As a result of this study, it was concluded that the existing TVA Ammonia-from-Coal Projects facility will serve to gasify the Exxon Donor Solvent Residues. Required modifications to the facility are minimal and inexpensive, as the capacity of all parts of the system is adequate. Texaco Development Corporation has made laboratory tests of the residues, and reports the expected gasification results. Brown and Root Development, Inc., has made heat and material balances and reports on the remainder of the system. TVA has investigated the handling, grinding, and slurrying of the residues and the environmental impact of outside storage, and reports on the results.
