Solvent refined coal (SRC) process. Quarterly technical progress report, April 1, 1978--June 30, 1978
This report summarizes the progress of the Solvent Refined Coal (SRC) project by The Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co. for the Department of Energy for the period April 1, 1978 through June 30, 1978. Major activities at the pilot plant included a scheduled plant turnaround and the blending of 4,500 barrels of SRC II fuel oil for use in a large-scale combustion test. During the turnaround major efforts were directed towards tie-ins and modifications necessary for the startup of Filter C and an extensive examination of process piping, heat exchangers, and vessels. Construction of the Lummus anti-solvent deashing unit continued during the quarter. Activity at the Merriam Laboratory included a study of the process factors in SRC II that lead to increased oil yields relative to SRC I operation and exploratory short residence time SRC I operation. An upgraded and modernized continuous bench scale unit was started up to replace the existing bench scale unit. The one-ton-per-day P-99 process development unit at Gulf's Harmarville facilities became part of the SRC program April 1. It ran SRC II experiments with Pittsburgh seam coals during the quarter.
