While carrying out our responsibility as evaluation contractor for certain high Btu coal gasification processes, C.F. Braun and Co. became aware that certain items of equipment were lacking in the sense that they were unavailable or unproven in the severe environment of demonstration size coal gasification plants. A vertical lift dryer is unproven in this service. Yet it would provide considerable economic advantage for drying pulverized coal at high pressure prior to injecting the coal into a gasifier. Braun recommended that a small scale vertical lift dryer be tested to obtain design and scale-up data. The Joint DOE-GRI Operating Committee authorized Braun to design a pilot plant size vertical lift dryer. The dryer was to be installed at the BI-GAS pilot plant and integrated into its operations. This report gives the details for the design and testing of a vertical lift dryer.
