Exchange of experiences of October 16, 1941: comparison of coal chambers of HWP (Hydrierwerke Poelitz) with Gelsenberg (in German)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5990720
This short table of data gave side-by-side listings from Poelitz and Gelsenberg. The middle-oil product from the liquid-phase chamber contained 8% phenols at Poelitz as compared to 14% to 16% at Gelsenberg and 11% as the standard estimate derived from experimental work at Ludwigshafen. The gasoline and middle-oil fraction boiling up to 325/sup 0/C from the coal chambers made up 40% to 45% of the liquid product at Poelitz as opposed to 52% at Gelsenberg, whereas the gasoline part of that fraction made up 12.5% (boiling up to 160/sup 0/C) at Poelitz and 10% (boiling up to 155/sup 0/C) at Gelsenberg. The sludge residues at Poelitz contained 28% to 32% solids at Poelitz versus 25% to 26% at Gelsenberg, and the residue oil contained 9% to 11% asphalt at Poelitz versus 16% to 18% at Gelsenberg. The total decomposition of coal amounted to 93% to 95% at Poelitz, 96% at Gelsenberg. A few more bits of data were given in the table. 1 table.
