In the wake of the 1973 oil crisis, ongoing, large-scale development of coal upgrading processes was undertaken in West Germany and around the world. Two of the most successful processes are the coal-oil plant at Bottrop and the Texaco coal gasification plant at Oberhausen-Holten. The fact that developments ran in parallel made possible transfer of the vacuum residue in a molten state from the hydrogenation plant to the gasification plant. The gasification of the residue is in the interest of economical production of the make-up hydrogen required for hydrogenation or-where this hydrogen can be acquired from another source-for production of synthesis gas while at the same time disposing of the residue in an environmentally sound fashion.
