The results of the gasification pilot plant operation are reviewed. A brief tabular history which summarizes the pilot plant objectives, major problems encountered, and the accomplishments of each run is presented. Effort is devoted to the analysis of solids fluidization, solids transport, and system pressure balance. Heat and material balances for selected runs, during which steady-state pilot plant operation was achieved, are presented to aid in appraisal of the process. The pilot plant operating program began in April 1972, and ended with the completion of the last run on October 1, 1977. A total of 75 runs were completed in which over 6,400 hours of operating time were logged while at design process temperature and pressure. Over 6,500 tons of dry lignite and subbituminous coal were gasified. Three North Dakota lignites, one Texas lignite, and three subbituminous coals were successfully gasified.
