This report presents the operating results for Run 251 at the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R and D Facility in Wilsonville, Alabama. This run operated in the Close Coupled Integrated Two-Stage Liquefaction mode (CC-ITSL) using two different types of coal. Illinois No. 6 bituminous coal was used during the first part of the run designated as Run 251-I. Wyodak subbituminous coal was used during Run 251-II and III. The primary run objective was the demonstration of unit and system operability in the CC-ITSL mode with catalytic-catalytic reactors and with ash recycle. Run 251-I began on 27 April 1986 and continued through 14 June 1986. During this period 232.5 MF tons of Illinois No. 6 coal were fed in 1109 hours of operation. Run 251-II began on 2 July 1986 and continued through 1 September. During this period 172.5 MF tons of Wyodak coal were fed in 1117 hours of operation. Run 251-III began on 21 September and continued through 15 October. During this period 83.6 MF tons of Wyodak coal were fed in 556 hours of operation. Operating conditions were adjusted during the run to obtain high coal conversion, acceptable deashing performance, and an ''all-distillate'' product slate. Included in Run 251 was: (1) an evaluation of catalytic-catalytic reactors vs thermal-catalytic for both coal types, (2) testing unit and system operability during endpoint reduction of distillate solvents from subbituminous coal. 6 refs., 68 figs., 40 tabs.
