Development of mild gasification process: Quarterly report for the period January-March 1987
The test plan for optimizing the mild gasification process was submitted and finalized during this report period. The optimization process will be accomplished in two phases. Phase I includes determination of the optimum reactor tube diameter, effects of bed height, and the effect of coal weathering on the mild gasification process. Phase II of the optimization process is modification of the MGU followed by parametric testing in the modified MGU. Applied Science and Technology was chosen to be the engineering subcontractor to UCCRC for MGU modifications. Four major areas have been identified as needing modification: the coal feed system, the condensing system, reactor tube diameter, and the reactor tube support system. In preparation for installing the new reactors for reactor diameter optimization tests, the existing char chute, hydraulic plungers, coal feed assembly, and the 8-inch cast reactor tubes have been removed from the MGU.
