The Phase I engineering and design of a demonstrated plant under Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy has been completed. The Demonstration Plant is designed to produce 19 million standard cubic feet per day of pipeline quality gas from 1,257 tons per day of Ohio No. 9 coal. The process to be demonstrated is based on the British Gas/Lurgi slagging gasifier which reacts coal with steam and oxygen at elevated temperatures and pressures to produce a crude synthesis gas. The crude gas is purified in a Rectisol unit and subsequently converted to high-Btu gas by a combination of shift/methanation, Benfield, and methanation processes. Sulfur, ammonia, naphtha, oil, and crude phenols are produced as by-products. The Stretford, Beavon, PHOSAM-W, Rectisol, and Phenosolvan processes are used to recover the by-products. Phase I of Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 has been completed except for the preparation of remaining reports. All reports are scheduled to be issued by June 30, 1981.
