Demonstration of low-Btu gasifier technology includes an extensive environmental and health study as part of the Gasifiers in Industry Program sponsored by the Department of Energy. Monitoring and testing plans have been developed to investigate the gasifiers located on the campus of the University of Minnesota-Duluth and in a planned community development at Pike County, Kentucky. Four general areas of study are emphasized in the plans including on-line studies, in-plant studies, and local area studies to be integrated through multidisciplinary assessments. A description is provided of the processes and facilities, of the rationale for the environmental and health study, and of the principal program components. Results are limited to start-up experience at the UMD gasifier.
