The integrity of a coal conversion system need not be compromised by material considerations in design or fabrication. The ASME and ANSI Codes assure the structural integrity of the large pressure vessels and piping when they are placed into service. Imposing additional requirements, such as increased impact toughness, will further assure the reliability and safety of the Code-fabricated vessel. Incorporating in-service surveillance as part of the operational plan will ensure the integrity of the pressure-containing components for the anticipated service life.
