Laboratory combustion study of EDS coal-derived liquids. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6048019
A laboratory-scale evaluation of Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) coal-derived liquid fuels for use in utility boilers has been made using three types of EDS distillate fuels. The three feed coals were an Illinois bituminous coal, a Wyodak subbituminous coal, and a Texas lignite. The EDS distillate fuels were all supplied by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The EDS distillate fuels were produced in the Exxon Donor Solvent 200 T/D coal liquefaction pilot plant located in Baytown, Texas, USA. In order to compare the EDS coal-derived liquid fuels with conventional boiler fuels, combustion tests on A- and C-heavy residual oils were conducted. The name A or C refers to the Japanese Industrial Standard. From the study it was concluded that all three coal-derived liquids were practical substitutes for conventional heavy utility boiler fuels. This study was a joint research effort with EPRI. 6 references, 48 figures, 5 tables.
