For the purpose of demonstrating the feasibility of the CO/sub 2/ Acceptor Gasification Process, a pilot plant was constructed at Rapid City, South Dakota, in 1971 and operated until 1977. The details of the plant design and of the operating program have been presented in previous Volumes 5 through 8. Ancillary support programs are detailed in Volumes 9 through 11. The purpose of this final report is the condensation and interpretation of the accumulated technical information to provide an adequate design basis for a larger facility. Also included is a description of the demonstrated materials of construction which are suitable to provide mechanical integrity in a commercial plant. A limited description of the pilot equipment and plant operating procedures is provided to facilitate reader understanding.
