Gasification of Simplex briquets: demonstration in the General Electric high-pressure gasifier. Vol. 2. Final report
This report presents the findings and conclusions for a number of gasification runs conducted by the General Electric Company (GE) in their 24 ton-per-day, high-pressure, moving-burden gasifier at Schenectady, NY. The objective of this test program was to evaluate the caking propensity and gasification characteristics of Simplex briquettes for this test program from Pittsburgh No. 8 coal fines and Baltimore County RDF (the combustible fraction of municipal solid waste). GE also conducted a base-line run employing tar-bonded Pittsburgh No. 8 coal briquettes. Details of the gasifier system, operating procedure, primary test data and a tentative interpretation of results are presented by GE in a Final Report which is included as Appendix A. The body of this report is presented in Sections II and III. Section II gives an analysis by Dynecology Inc. of the GE findings and test data. Section III lists the Conclusions drawn by DI, which are supported by the above analysis. The principal conclusion is that Simplex briquettes (in both the 3 : 2 and 2 : 1 coal/Rdf ratios) can be gasified in the GE facility at pressures of 100 and 300 psig without caking or stirring. By contrast, the Pittsburgh No. 8 coal/coal tar briquettes cannot be processed in this 3'-diameter gasifier without deep-bed stirring. Also, the tar-bonded briquettes produced an excessive quantity of tars.
