The Centralia partial seam CRIP underground coal gasification experiment. [Controlled retracting injection point]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5953640

This report describes the result of the partial seam controlled retracting injection point (CRIP) underground coal gasification (UCG) field experiment carried out at the Washington Irrigation and Development Company (WIDCO) mine near Centralia, Washington, in the fall of 1983. The test was designed to take advantage of the high-wall geometry at the mine and was carried out near the site of the earlier (1981-1982) large-block experiments. The primary goals of the experiment were to test the CRIP concept and to further evaluate the site as a potential for the future development of UCG.
