Pipeline gas from coal - hydrogenation (IGT hydrogasification process). Project 9000 quarterly report No. 9, July 1--September 30, 1978
The objective of this project is to perform the necessary pilot plant operations and related support studies to acquire data for a commercial/demonstration plant design based on the HYGAS Process. To this end, tests are being conducted with Illinois bituminous coal to acquire data for optimizing the process. In Test 74 the new steam--oxygen gas distributor and the fluidizing steam distributor were tested in the steam--oxygen gasifier for their effects on its operation. Temperature measurements below the steam--oxygen distributor indicate that at higher steam feeds to the fluidizing steam distributor, solids mixing was significantly improved. Twenty-one days of continuous self-sustained operation were logged, breaking all previous records and accumulating over 200 hours of steady-state operation. The entire HYGAS pilot plant was inspected following Test 74. Immediately after Test 74, the reactor and related piping and vessels were successfully pressure-tested at 1000 pounds as a preliminary procedure for Test 75 high-pressure operations. Additional data were supplied to Procon, Inc., to aid in its design of a commercial/demonstration HYGAS plant. Work continued on the cold-flow model of the upper stage of the HYGAS reactor, details of which are presented. Pretreater and gasifier material balances and engineering data from Test 70 are also included.
