Operating conditions and test results obtained at the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) pilot plant in Wilsonville, Alabama during the third quarter of 1978 are summarized. Indiana V coal processing was concluded. The feedstock was changed in September to Kentucky 6 and 11 from Pyro Mining Company's Pyro Mine. A run was completed on Indiana V coal wherein the inventory of dissolver solids was controlled by use of a bottom withdrawal system. The solids concentration was varied from 5 to 37 lb/ft/sup 3/ to study its effects on SRC yield. Operation of the Kerr-McGee Critical Solvent Deashing (CSD) unit was continued. SRC containing 0.06 to 0.75% ash was produced at feed rates as high as 300 lb/hr. SRC recovery ranged from 73 to 84%.
